About IFHC

Indiana Family Health Council (IFHC) is a private, not-for-profit organization that funds 35 reproductive health clinics across the state to make healthcare and education available and accessible to all women, men and teens in Indiana, no matter insurance coverage or income level. Of these clinics, 30 are open to the public.

Focusing on our goal of making healthcare education and resources available to all, in 2017, Indiana Family Council sponsored clinics have done the following:

• provided services to 23,887 patients across all 92 Indiana counties
• conducted 8,778 HIV tests
• tested 70 percent of women under the age of 25 for chlamydia
• distributed 1.19 million condoms across the state of Indiana
• provided education and counseling resulting in 85 percent of women choosing to adopt a moderately or most effective form of contraception
• Performed 17,160 chlamydia/gonorrhea tests

Our goal was to have 70 percent of women under the age of 25 be tested for chlamydia by the end of the calendar year. Left untreated at that age, the disease can lead to a lot of complications including infertility. Chlamydia is often known as a silent disease, which is why it is our goal to get as many women tested as possible.

 Every $1.00 of public funding spent on contraceptive and preventive health services in the US saves $7.09 in public expenditures.

Mission Statement:
