About Family Planning Elevated
A Statewide Contraceptive Initiative
Family Planning Elevated expands access to contraceptive education, training, and capacity-building for Utah health care centers and providers in an effort to improve equitable, person-centered, comprehensive contraceptive services across the state of Utah. We're helping uninsured, underinsured, and undocumented Utahns get the methods they want, without cost or distance being a barrier.
Family Planning Elevated Contraceptive Access Program (FPE CAP)
For three years, Family Planning Elevated partnered with federally qualified health centers, county health departments, and rural clinics to increase access to contraceptive care and methods without out-of-pocket costs for uninsured clients. 28 FPE CAP clinics, and 8 affiliate clinical sites, provided 18,308 Utahns with no-cost contraceptive care from 2019 - 2022. Although the funding period for no-cost contraception has concluded, the FPE team continues to provide technical support, patient educational resources, and clinical skills trainings across the state.
