We’re bringing reproductive health to your backyard.
The Repro Health Tour is bringing healthcare closer to home, including free direct healthcare services, such as physical exams, pregnancy tests, and contraceptive counseling, and a six-month supply of Opill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill.
We believe every Mississippian deserves access to high-quality healthcare in their home communities. That includes reproductive care.
So we’re hitting the road to ensure more Mississippians have the information, resources, and support they need to take control of their health, their lives, and their future.

GetPersonal is a telehealth service offered by Converge to ensure no Mississippian will go without access to birth control and other reproductive health services because they’re unable to make an in-person visit to a doctor’s office.
And now, you can GetPersonal at the Repro Health Tour. You’ll be able to meet with a provider at one of our tour stops to receive the respectful and comprehensive care your deserve–right in your backyard.

OPILL? OH, YES!
At each tour stop, we will be distributing three-month supplies of Opill, the first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill in the United States.
OPILL? OH, YES!
At each tour stop, we will be distributing three-month supplies of Opill, the first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill in the United States.
Opill is a progestin-only oral contraceptive, commonly referred to as the “mini-pill.” Unlike combination birth control pills that contain both estrogen and progestin, Opill contains only the hormone progestin (norethindrone) and may be suitable for you if you cannot tolerate estrogen-based contraceptives due to health risks such as blood clots, migraines, or high blood pressure.
The availability of Opill marks a significant step toward removing barriers to contraception, but we have a lot more work to do in Mississippi. That’s why the Repro Health Tour is coming to your backyard to share more information about Opill and help you determine if it’s the right choice for you.

Is it safe for people who aren’t citizens to attend?
Your safety is our highest priority. No one associated with the Repro Health Tour will ask you to share your citizenship or immigration status. The health care providers are required by law to maintain privacy and will not share any information you share with them without your permission.
What type of information will I be asked to share?
The information you are asked to share will depend on the health screenings and consultations you choose to participate in at the tour. However, you do not have to share any information that you are uncomfortable disclosing. For example, if you are interested in preconception counseling, you may be asked about any major medical procedures or difficulties getting pregnant in the past, or if you want to be tested for STIs, you may be asked about your recent sexual history. All attendees will be asked to share their name and phone number as part of our safety protocols. Additional information can be shared at your discretion.

Anyone interested in taking control of their reproductive health should attend the Repro Health Tour. Reproductive health care is important for everyone, no matter their age, gender, or sexual orientation. The Repro Health Tour will provide a welcoming, affirming, and supportive environment for you to get all the information you need to feel confident in the choices you make about your reproductive health.

During the tour, licensed medical providers will be offering physical exams (head-to-toe assessments, contraceptive counseling (with initial prescriptions), preconception counseling, pregnancy testing, STI testing and counseling, and vital sign tests (weight, blood pressure, heart rate, O2 saturation, etc.).

No. You do not need health insurance to attend or receive health care services. All services offered during the Repro Health Tour are free or low-cost because you deserve to have access to care close to home.
