LARC Coalition

The LARC coalition works to determine the best way to implement immediate post-partum Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) insertion for hospitals state-wide. Examples of LARCs include IUDs and birth control implants. Affirm partners with nurse practitioners, valley doctors and an AHCCCS consultant to bring together data around this topic and to determine an implementation strategy consistent with Arizona hospital care and available public health insurance. Below are resources and FAQs for providers and hospitals looking to implement this strategy.
