Contraceptive (Birth Control) Services

Maggi Bridwell
Center for Women's Health

In Women's Health, students can obtain prescriptions for oral contraceptives (birth control pills), the vaginal ring (Nuva Ring), the contraceptive patch (Ortho-Evra), diaphragms, emergency contraceptive pills and Depo Provera injections. Diaphragm checks and instructions on other forms of birth control are offered as well. Referrals and information for IUD's are given upon request.

It is strongly encouraged that you view a Women’s Health Education session, and have had a routine GYN exam, including a Pap smear, within one year in order to receive a prescription for contraception. This exam can be done at Women's Health or you can request that a copy of your records from another facility be sent to Women's Health. Fax: (301) 314-3596.

Prescription refills can be obtained by appointment in Women's Health.
For appointments, please call (301) 314-8190.
