This Women's Health Month, we're here to remind you that sexual and reproductive health is a core part of overall well-being.

That means staying up to date on STI testing, finding a birth control that fits your life and goals, getting routine screenings, and having honest conversations about consent, pleasure, and protection. It also means knowing your options and feeling empowered to make decisions about your own body without pressure or stigma.

Whether you’re preventing pregnancy, planning for it, or just taking care of yourself, your health deserves attention. Take time this month to schedule a check up. You can access affordable, high-quality healthcare at a Title X clinic. Find one near you by visiting fpcouncil.org/find-a-clinic/.

Looking for a present for Mother's Day? We've got you covered!

At FPCI, we believe everyone should be able to decide if, when, and how they become a parent. We also recognize that all families look different, and not all parental figures have to be biologically related to those they care for.

This Mother's Day, honor the mother figures in your life with beautiful flowers while supporting a meaningful cause. Proceeds from flower sales benefit FPCI and help us fulfill our mission of expanding access to high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare across Iowa.

Click the link below to view the assortment of flowers we have available. Will you go with the "NuvaRing Around the Roses" or maybe the "Plan Bee Bouquet"? Whichever you choose, make sure to order by noon on Thursday, April 30th for delivery by Mother's Day.

April is Minority Health Awareness Month.

Title X clinics play a vital role in advancing health equity by providing funding for essential family planning and preventive health services especially for underserved and marginalized communities. In Iowa, thousands of individuals receive access to care that might otherwise be out of reach.

Health equity starts with access, and programs like Title X help make that possible. Make an appointment at a Title X clinic near you today by visiting fpcouncil.org/find-a-clinic/.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Sexual violence affects millions of people, and this month is a time for advocates, survivors, their loved ones, and our communities to come together and talk openly about sexual violence. It is a time to support survivors, increase knowledge and awareness of this issue, and identify strategies and resources to prevent sexual violence.

We can all play a role by:

• Believing survivors

• Speaking up against harmful behavior

• Educating ourselves and others

• Supporting organizations doing this critical work

If you or someone you know needs help, you are not alone. Help is available 24/7 through the Iowa Victim Service Hotline: 1.800.770.1650 or text IOWAHELP to 20121.

Family planning is about being able to have a family on your terms, whether that means preventing pregnancy or achieving it.

In addition to contraceptive and STI care, Title X clinics are able to offer basic fertility services like preconception counseling and fertility education.

This week we recognize the millions of people who face infertility because we believe everyone should have the support they need to grow their family.

We see you, we support you, and we want you to know you are not alone on this journey.

It's STI Awareness Week, and we want to remind you to Prepare Before You're There by thinking about STI prevention strategies before you're in the heat of the moment.

Here are some tips to help you stay on top of your status and prevent the spread of STIs:

✅ Get tested regularly

✅ Engage in open communication with partners

✅ Use condoms

✅ Consult providers about prevention tools like vaccinations and PEP/PrEP

You can discuss all of these strategies at a Title X clinic! Take the first step towards STI prevention by setting up an appointment at a Title X clinic near you: https://fpcouncil.org/find-a-clinic/

This week we honor and uplift Black mothers and shine a light on the urgent disparities in maternal health that too many face.

Did you know?

• In the United States, Black women die from pregnancy‑related causes at rates about three times higher than White women.

• Black mothers experience significantly higher rates of complications like high blood pressure, preterm birth, and maternal morbidity.

• Many of these deaths and complications are preventable with timely care, respectful treatment, and improved access to services.

Accessible, culturally competent family planning care is a foundation for healthier pregnancies and families. Title X clinics strive to offer this kind of care by providing high quality reproductive healthcare services so everyone is able to plan their family on their terms.

Want to learn more about what's being done in Iowa to support Black maternal health? Check out the incredible work The Birthwork Foundation is doing! They connect underserved populations with essential birthing services and support.
