Mabel Wadsworth Women's Health Center

In 1971, the Family Planning Association of Maine (FPA) was founded by a group of individuals dedicated to the proposition that every Maine woman should have equal access to high-quality reproductive health services. Through their tireless efforts, sometimes against great odds, the FPA's founders created a force for statewide family planning. Two Mainers who played a central role in the FPA's creation, David and Sherry Huber, went on to advocate for reproductive freedom as members of the Maine Legislature. Myrna Daigle opened the first family planning clinic in Aroostook County and Mabel Sine Wadsworth started the first family planning clinic in Maine to offer contraceptives. The Family Planning Association of Maine provides funding, technical support and quality assurance to 45 clinics statewide, serving over 30, 000 women and teens annually. The FPA itself operates clinics in Augusta, Belfast, Damariscotta and Rockland, which provide various health care services including: oral and injectable contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, screening, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and breast and cervical cancer screening. The FPA promotes evidence-based programs that are age-appropriate, designed to meet the needs of the community, and result in positive behavior changes among youth.
