Family Planning

The Family Planning program provides individuals with the ability to decide if they want to have children and if so, how many and how far apart they want to space them. A broad range of effective family planning birth control methods and services are available, including contraception, gynecological exams, infertility education, natural family planning, counseling, and family planning education for adults and teens. Costs for services are based on a sliding scale and some insurance plans are accepted.

Immunizations

The Immunizations program reduces the morbidity and mortality associated with vaccine preventable diseases.

Vaccines are provided to adults and children following the guidelines set forth by the Advisory Committee in Immunization Practices. The Roanoke City Health District is a participant in the Virginia Vaccines for Children program and provide vaccines required by the school system to children through age 18 at no charge. The Roanoke City Health District is also a participant in the Virginia Immunization Information System, which allows the sharing of immunization information with other providers. Local health departments collect data annually by conducting a random sampling of immunization records in daycares and schools. In addition to on-site immunization clinics, the immunization team provides many off-site community vaccination opportunities for flu, pneumonia, Tdap and school vaccines. To do this, the Roanoke City Health District collaborates with a variety of community members and holds events across the community including at schools, local businesses, churches, local malls, community-based agencies, health fairs and housing developments.
