About Family Health Services
Some people come in for a pregnancy test. Others need birth control, STI testing, wellness exams, or help with WIC nutrition support. Family Health Services meets those needs in southeast Nebraska with confidential care that is inclusive, trauma-informed, and respectful of each person’s circumstances. For donors, that means supporting a place where health advice, clinic care, and practical nutrition help can happen in one familiar local setting.
Family Health Services stands out for pairing confidential reproductive health care with WIC nutrition services in southeast Nebraska. It also extends that care beyond the clinic through outreach education and bilingual support for families and caregivers.
