County Considers Ending Some Birth Control Services

In St. Clair County, health officials are weighing a shift away from some birth control services as funding and staffing pressures grow. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin recommends ending certain Title Ten contraceptive programs, citing the loss of a key nurse practitioner and rising costs. He says services could instead move to McLaren Port Huron’s residency program, while over-the-counter options are now widely available. At least five positions could be impacted. A final discussion is set for June 17th.
