Morra Aarons-Mele, thank you for sharing your "why" with us this World Contraception Day. Contraception isn't something that's reserved for any particular age. There are so many reasons, seasons, and stages where a person may need contraceptive access. #WCD24

Today is World Contraception Day! Contraceptive care is basic healthcare- and it’s way too hard for too many people to access. Today is a day to acknowledge the many people working to expand access to high quality, patient-centered contraceptive care! I can’t even imagine what my life would have been like without access to birth control. Can you? #wywcontraception #worldcontraceptionday #wcd #worldcontraceptionday2024 #healthcare #patientcenteredcare

We asked attendees at #AAFPFMX what's your "why" for believing contraceptive care is important and left totally inspired by their responses. See what this physician had to say about the role contraception plays in her patient's lives! #WYWContraception

On this World Contraception Day, we're thrilled to see the work Maryland is doing to bring contraceptive care front and center by ensuring there’s a Title X clinic in every county. This is a great way to ensure everyone gets the contraceptive care they deserve. We're looking forward to continuing our partnership with Governor Wes Moore and the Maryland Department of Health to ensure contraceptive care is basic healthcare in Maryland. #WorldContraceptionDay #WCD24

Why do you believe contraceptive care is basic healthcare? At Upstream, we believe all contraceptive care should be patient-centered and easy to find. But each of us brings our own reasons – some deeply personal – to this work. We call this our “why.” Today, on World Contraception Day, we’re sharing real stories from Upstreamers who feel passionately that contraceptive care is a vital piece of every patient’s healthcare. And we hope you’ll join us in sharing your own stories. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, patient, advocate, or a believer in this mission, your “why” matters. This World Contraception Day, let’s celebrate contraceptive care for what it is: basic healthcare. Here’s how you can participate: [1] Share your Why in a comment below. [2] Share this post, and ask your colleagues on LinkedIn to participate. [3] Pause and reflect: Why do you think healthcare organizations should offer and be trained in contraceptive care? What’s your personal reason for believing in this mission? As always, you can learn more about Upstream’s impact at https://hubs.ly/Q02Rb0Xq0. #wywcontraception #worldcontraceptionday #wcd #worldcontraceptionday2024 #healthcare #patientcenteredcare

Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that despite legislation in 19 states requiring insurers to cover a 12-month supply of contraception, patients aren't receiving a year's worth of their prescription; most receive just three months or less. https://hubs.ly/Q02R6Bc80
Study reveals gaps in contraception access despite 12-month supply policies

Pain and anxiety are variable and influenced by several individual factors. For any given person undergoing an IUD procedure, pain can range from minimal to severe. The same is true for anxiety about the procedure. A patient-centered approach to anxiety and pain management ensures that the patient is always, as they should be, in control. #PainAwarenessMonth #ContraceptiveCare
