ROUTINE VISITS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR HEALTH
The economy effects all of our families, and you should not let hard times keep you from keeping your routine annual appointments.  Our agency is committed to providing high quality services at a reasonable price. We offer our services on a sliding- scale basis and we will provide services regardless of your financial status. 

All new patients are entered into a monthly drawing for a $25 gift certificate. Drawings are held the first Monday of each month. Please tell a friend.

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS-NO PROBLEM

Ocean County residents who need our services, no longer need to struggle over transportation problems to receive accessible and afforadable reproductive health care services.  The FPCOC has grown with a federal expansion grant, under Title X,  we opened a 1,640 square foot site in Manahawkin in June 2009.

Tay Walker, president and CEO stated in a recent article, "The additional clinical site will allow us to provide services for an additional 275 patients per year. FPCOC is a trusted name in the community. We built our business on helping, healing and caring for Ocean County women and their families."

FPCOC originally had a site in Manahawkin from 1974 to 2005; but after the building was sold, FPCOC lost its lease in 2005. Now, again, women of reproductive age who are uninsured or underinsured can be seen in Manahawkin, (Exit 63 off the Garden State Parkway) at 1173 Beacon Avenue, Suite B, Wednesdays, noon to 7:30 p.m. FPCOC, Lakewood, will continue to see women six days a week, including two Saturdays a month.
