Health Center FAQ

Do you offer the "morning after pill"?

Yes. The Nurse Practitioner can write a prescription for "Plan B" Emergency Contraceptive Therapy (ECT), also known as the "morning after pill". If you have had unprotected sex within the last 72 hours, you can still be seen and treated. If you are already pregnant, the pill will not work. Please call if you have any questions or concerns about emergency contraception.
