More Emergency Contraception for Teens

As reported on NY1 and elsewhere, Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum says that teens are having a tough time getting emergency contraception at city clinics this year compared to last. She says only one third of Health and Hospitals Corporation and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene clinics provided same-day emergency contraception.

Health and Hospitals Corporation officials are making changes based on the report Gotbaum says. Department of Health officials say anyone looking for emergency contraception can call 311 or visit nyc.gov/health.
