Contraceptive care is being integrated into primary healthcare to improve accessibility and support.

In this episode, Mark Edwards, co-founder and CEO of Upstream, explains that Upstream's mission is to ensure high-quality contraceptive services are accessible in primary care settings. This work addresses "contraceptive deserts" and supports clinicians in states with challenging reproductive health environments by training a wide range of healthcare providers. Mark highlights success stories in states with restricted abortion access, where healthcare organizations have expanded contraceptive offerings. He also explains how Upstream aims to assist providers in adopting contraceptive care as standard practice, making it possible for patients to receive immediate counseling and the method of choice during their visits.
