New HER Program Aims to Decrease Unplanned Pregnancy in Utah

According to some studies, almost half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned – with most of those occurring at either the “wrong time” or being “unwanted.” But what if all women had the information and access, at no cost, to plan their pregnancy? University of Utah Health Care is working to lower the amount of unplanned pregnancies in Utah with the HER Salt Lake Initiative. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones sits down with Dr. David Turok, a family planning specialist, to discuss this groundbreaking program. More information can be found at hersaltlake.org.
