In St. Clair County, the Health Advisory Board refused to cut local family planning services after a heated meeting on Wednesday. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin had urged the county to drop federal Title X funding, citing staffing shortages and other priorities. But dozens of residents pushed back, warning that hundreds of patients could lose access to birth control, STI testing, and preventive care. Board members agreed more time is needed for a solid transition plan to protect patients. The program served 871 people last year.
