Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, ICAN! was able to help me get a new IUD within a week of registering! I loved being able to pick the provider closest to me, and the whole procedure from check-in to check-out took about an hour.

V.K. | Age, 29

ICAN! was an amazing organization that linked me to a provider in my area for an implant. Everyone was so nice over the phone and in person. This was an efficient and effective way to receive contraception. I felt very comfortable and heard throughout the entire process!

M.M. | Age, 18

They took the time to make sure I was fully cared for and comfortable. The appointment time was scheduled quickly and I left wishing the provider was my full-time provider. I am so grateful this exists for women in Chicago and hope more people know about this program.

Did you know that about half a million people in Illinois don’t have coverage for birth control?

Or that only 1 in 5 women accessing care at community health centers across the state are counseled on their birth control options?

What about the fact that almost 80,000 women live in counties without a single health center that provides the full range of FDA-approved birth control methods?

About ICAN!

At ICAN!, we believe in contraceptive equity: the idea that all people—regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, income, or ability—should be able to decide whether or not they want to use birth control and what they want to use it for.
