FOR NEARLY 48 YEARS, THE NJFPL HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO ENSURING ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES FOR ALL NEW JERSEYANS IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF INCOME, INSURANCE STATUS, OR IDENTITY.

AS A TITLE X GRANTEE SINCE 1975 AND A STATEWIDE GRANTEE SINCE 2013, NJFPL SEEKS TO ENHANCE ACCESS TO QUALITY FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES BY SUPPORTING SUBRECIPIENT AGENCIES, REDUCING ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN, OFFERING PROGRAM SUPPORT AND TRAINING, ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT REQUIREMENTS, ASSESSING NEED FOR SERVICES AND BARRIERS TO CARE, AND IDENTIFYING INNOVATIVE APPROACHES THAT REFLECT TRENDS IN SERVICE DELIVERY AND INCREASE ACCESS. ENHANCEMENT OF TELEHEALTH SERVICES IS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH THAT WILL EXPAND ACCESS AND INCREASE THE REACH OF OUR EXISTING TITLE X NETWORK. IN THE 12-MONTH PROJECT PERIOD, NJFPL'S FAMILY PLANNING TELEHEALTH ENHANCEMENT AND EXPANSION PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THE VARYING TELEHEALTH CAPABILITIES OF ALL OUR SUBRECIPIENTS, FOCUSING RESOURCES MOST HEAVILY ON BUILDING CAPACITY AT TWO SUBRECIPIENTS WHILE STRENGTHENING AND SUPPORTING EXISTING SERVICES AT OUR REMAINING PROVIDERS. THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL ESTABLISH SERVICES AT TWO PROVIDERS TO PILOT AND BUILD THEIR TELEHEALTH CAPACITY, ESTABLISH A WORK GROUP TO SUPPORT SHARING PROMISING PRACTICES AND DETERMINE THE NEEDS OF OUR OTHER 13 PROVIDERS, TO HELP ENHANCE AND EXPAND THEIR TELEHEALTH SERVICES. AN EXPERT CONSULTANT WILL HELP LEAD THESE ACTIVITIES AND PROVIDE OR ARRANGE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL PROVIDERS.
