What People Are Saying.

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.
