A Step Ahead Chattanooga’s mission is to remove barriers to contraception through education, outreach, and access to birth control to any individual living in our tri-state, 18-county service area who wants it, for FREE! With donations from individuals, companies, and foundations, we make sure that clinical services cost women nothing out-of-pocket. If needed, transportation is covered too. We also provide outreach and education. We believe that all women — not only women of means—should have every chance to reach their education, career, and relationship goals. With donations from individuals, companies, and foundations, A Step Ahead Chattanooga: - educates women (and men) so they know about these highly effective options - works with providers to ensure they’re trained and ready to offer IUDs and implants - pays whatever costs aren’t covered by other means - offers free transportation to appointments, if needed - operates an appointment line to make appointments/arrange transportation: 423-265-STEP With control over her destiny, every woman has the opportunity to complete an education, earn more money, have healthier babies, take care of her children, and live life on her terms. *Counties Served: Bledsoe, Bradley, Franklin, Grundy, Hamilton, Marion, Meigs, McMinn, Polk, Rhea, and Sequatchie
