A new low-cost reproductive and sexual health care option is available on the central Kenai Peninsula.
“Really, our remote services initiative as a whole is designed to bring reproductive health services where people need us,” said CEO Claudia Haines. “And that certainly changed a little bit as the Planned Parenthood health center in Soldotna closed last May.”It offers sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including breast cancer screenings, birth control consulting, fertility counseling and STI treatment, as well as HIV-prevention services and gender-affirming hormone care.
The organization accepts private insurance and Medicaid. Patients who aren’t on insurance will pay what they can, since the clinic gets funding from the Title X Family Planning program. That program sets costs based on income and family size, on a sliding scale. KBFPC isn’t entirely the same as Planned Parenthood. It doesn’t offer abortion care services, for example.“Really aiming to get reproductive and sexual healthcare access to as many people as possible,” she said.
