No appointment necessary. Come to the Family Medicine Residency Clinic before 11 a.m. on Thursday, on the first floor of the hospital, and present your ID card. Patients will complete a urine pregnancy test, and will then receive education/counseling on all available short-acting, long-acting, reversible and permanent forms of contraception.
