Family Pact


I know I have already written an article regarding prescription prices of birth control, but after speaking with Nurse Practitioner Evelyn Lowe, I discovered that most female college students are eligible for a government program called Family PACT. Family PACT is a program that provides family planning no-cost services to low-income men and women. With this program people are eligible for free birth control. Below is the hotline number incase any of you are interested. Another way to enroll in this program is by going to Planned Parenthood, located at the corner of Bellflower and Del Amo. However, in order to apply for Family PACT through planned parenthood you must utilize at least one of their services. Lowe said she "hopes that CSULB will be offering the opportunity for girls to sign up for Family PACT in the near future."
They also provide other services such as counceling and education.

QUICK FACT: Birth Control is more than just a preventative measure, it is also used to regulate the female menstruel cycle and reduce painful cramps.
