How It Works

On Fridays, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM, visit NHC Patuxent River clinic for all of your contraceptive needs. Contraceptive needs are a walk-in, first come/first serve basis, with priority to active-duty personnel. You will be asked to fill out a contraception-specific form and be provided a lab ticket for a urine pregnancy test (if applicable). Please come with a full bladder. You will be taken to an exam room to discuss your needs. We can insert/remove birth control and prescribe medications on the same day.
