The need for family planning providers –
New Jersey’s publicly funded family planning health centers provide high-quality health care to low-income and uninsured individuals, who might otherwise lack access. These agencies are often the gateway to primary health care services for low-income and working families.
In 2014 (the most recent year for which data is available) 455,000 women in New Jersey were in need of publicly supported contraceptive services and supplies.
