Our Mission:
Your Wellbeing
The purpose of the Family Planning Council of Iowa (FPCI) is to provide quality reproductive health care and family planning services to all people in Iowa who desire it. We provide this care through the delegation of Title X (ten) funds from the federal government, subcontracting with delegate agencies to provide family planning services to low-income individuals in local communities. FPCI additionally provides services and programming available to nurses, students, and the public.
