individuals who may otherwise lack access to health care.
• Health centers receiving Title X funds must provide an array of confidential preventive
health services, including: contraceptive services, pelvic exams, pregnancy testing,
screening for cervical and breast cancer, screening for high blood pressure, anemia, and
diabetes, screening for STIs, including HIV, basic infertility services, health education, and
referrals for other health and social services.
