Birth Control/ READY Clinic

SHAC provides a range of birth control  based on YOUR individual needs--from pills to Depo to IUD/Implant (Mirena, Kyleena, ParaGard and Nexplanon). With the many different forms of birth control available today, the decision about which type is best suited for an individual can be confusing and dependent on many variables, including past medical history, ease of use, side effects, and cost. Our providers are specialists in all forms of birth control and can offer advice as to which option may be the best for you.
