MFHS Expands Access to Reproductive Health Services in Carbon County

MFHS is expanding its commitment to accessible, high-quality care by offering comprehensive reproductive health services at the MFHS Carbon County Center. Reproductive health services are now available Tuesdays by appointment at the MFHS Carbon County Center, located at 701 Bridge Street, Suite 303, Body & Soul Complex, Lehighton, PA 18235. WIC services, including certified lactation counseling services, remain available Monday through Friday.

The MFHS Carbon County Center is a one-stop center for women’s healthcare and nutrition needs, and the addition of reproductive health services ensures even more support for individuals and families in the community. Services are available for both men and women and include:

• STI testing and treatment
• Pregnancy testing
• Birth control options
• Gynecological and pelvic exams
• Breast and cervical cancer screenings
• Emergency contraception

Because the cost of MFHS care is determined by income, many appointments are free. For programs like reproductive health, services may be available at no cost, at a reduced cost, or may be covered by insurance. Medicaid is accepted. To schedule an appointment or check qualifications for free or low-cost services, community members can call (570) 273-1288.
