	more about us about us contact us home		The Family Planning Program at Grady Hospital was organized in 1962 with the direction, supervision, and participation of full-time faculty members of our department. Residents are full participants in this program, which teaches the basic science and clinical aspects of contraception. Approximately 25,000 patient visits to the family planning clinics occur each year. Many special care, educational, and research projects are carried out within this program. The handbook entitled Contraceptive Technology, which now is used in many family planning programs in this country and abroad, was produced by this program. The program also has been responsible for investigations into the relationship between contraceptives and venereal disease, for studies of techniques to provide large numbers of condoms to the community through women seen in the family planning clinic, for contraceptive implant studies, and for many other projects whose outcomes have positive influences on the population served. These materials were written by Robert A. Hatcher, MD, MPH, Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics Emory University School of Medicine
