Here we go again...the House of Representatives and President are looking to defund Title X.

Be like Healthfirst CEO, Dr. Jessie Scharfenberg and tell them not only does it need to stay, but we need a funding increase after 10+ years of flat funding! That is what Jessie did today during National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association's Hill Day with Representative Moore and Fitzgerald's offices as well as Senator Johnson's!

Condoms alone are 87% effective at preventing pregnancy, but the safest approach is to use DUAL PROTECTION! Combining the effectiveness of birth control with barrier methods works to keep you safe from both pregnancy and STI transmission!

Our Story & Our Locations

History

Healthfirst, formerly known as Family Planning Health Services, or FPHS, is a non-profit community health provider in central Wisconsin. Incorporated in 1973, FPHS set forward to develop a quality facility that offered confidential reproductive health and WIC services in Marathon County. Since 1973, FPHS has expanded its geographical footprint and now offers WIC services in three counties and health services in eight counties.

Introducing Healthfirst

During the summer of 2016, FPHS embarked on a new journey through a facilitated strategic planning process. Through that process, it was identified that our name, Family Planning Health Services, did not reflect all of the services and programming that was offered through the organization. Knowing that our brand was confusing, we decided to rebrand with a name that would be inclusive to all of the services we offer. Through the assistance of 6AM marketing, FPHS has transitioned to Healthfirst.
