St. Louis County is expanding its reproductive health care services
St. Louis County is expanding the types of reproductive and sexual health services it provides.
County Executive Sam Page on Monday signed an executive order to improve the information and contraceptive services available through the county’s health department.
“Our commitment is to ensure that reproductive and sexual health services not only continue in St. Louis County, but they’re expanded,” Page said at a press conference.
The order extends the department's existing programs and enhances the instruction that clinic staff at the county’s three community health centers and justice center receive, he said. Page said that would include expanded patient counseling and anti-bias and anti-racism training, as well as clinical training around contraception.
