What is Reproductive Health?

Reproductive Health, also known as family planning, helps prevent unplanned pregnancies. We help families and individuals plan and space their pregnancies. These services are available to both women and men.

Reproductive health services are provided by health care professionals.

If needed, a patient is referred to OU Women’s Clinic for further evaluation by a OB/Gyn physician. In this case, clinical staff will assist in making an appointment with OU Women’s Clinic.
