Abstract The Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH), Division of Women’s Health, Kentucky Family Planning program receives a Title X federal grant funding stream from the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), to implement the Kentucky Family Planning Program (KFPP). The Kentucky Family Planning/Title X program is authorized by the Public Health Service Act through the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act of 1970.

Title X is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. KDPH shall contract with University of Kentucky Research Foundation, a Kentucky hospital based not-for-profit corporation to provide family planning services targeting the uninsured, underinsured, & underserved residents throughout the Commonwealth. Agency serves Fayette County (and other counties throughout the commonwealth) in the Bluegrass Central region of Kentucky. This contract will increase access to family planning services, in addition to providing comprehensive health care and nurture a medical home for residents in central Kentucky.
