What We Do
At Outlook Clinics, we offer contraception, STD testing/treatment, and pregnancy testing at little or no cost depending on your income.
Reproductive health services
Explore our contraception, STD/STI testing, pregnancy testing and other sexual health services below. We have just about everything you need!
Contraception
We offer nearly all contraceptive methods available:
- Birth control pills: Hormones in the pill stop ovulation and can help make periods lighter and more regular. When used properly, the pill prevents pregnancy.
- Emergency contraception, also known as Plan B.
- Depo-Provera: Also known as “the shot,” Depo-Provera is a contraceptive injection that a person receives every three months.
- Birth control patch: The patch goes on the skin and contains hormones that can prevent pregnancy.
- IUD: An intrauterine device, or IUD, is a T-shaped device that is placed inside the uterus. It’s long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods. Some IUDs release additional progestin hormones for birth control. IUDs can prevent pregnancy for many years.
- Implant (Nexplanon): A teeny piece of plastic gets put into the upper arm and slowly releases hormones to stop ovulation. This is the most effective birth control method.
- NuvaRing: The ring is a small, flexible piece of plastic that’s inserted into the vagina. It works like the pill, but only needs to be inserted once a month.
- Condoms:Condoms are great because, when used properly, can protect against STDs AND pregnancy. Plus, they’re easy to get and they’re FREE at our clinics! Condoms are used by males during sexual intercourse, but everyone can carry condoms.
- Vasectomies at our Chisago City location only. A vasectomy is a permanent male sterilization procedure that requires minimally invasive, outpatient surgery.
Learn more about birth control methods on our Frequently asked questions page.
STD/STI testing and treatment
Sexually transmitted disease/infection (STD/STI) testing at Outlook Clinics is low cost. STDs are all treatable and many are completely curable, but they can leave permanent damage if they go untreated.
We accept walk-ins for patients but we do recommend making an appointment to guarantee being able to be seen. Treatment is available for both male and female patients. We will also treat the partner of the patient who tests positive for a treatable STD.
Outlook Clinics provides testing for all of the following STDs/STIs
- Chlamydia
- HIV/AIDS
- Syphilis
- Gonorrhea
- HPV and genital warts
- Genital herpes
Learn more about STD/STI testing on our Frequently asked questions page.
Pregnancy Testing
Pregnancy testing is free to patients 18 and under. Otherwise, costs vary based on income. Walk-ins are welcome, and we offer non-judgmental counseling to discuss options for the patient.
In accordance with Minnesota law, patients 18 and under are not required to have parental consent before pregnancy testing.
Learn more about pregnancy testing on our Frequently asked questions page.
Limited Primary Care
In addition to our standard offerings, we also provide women’s annual exams, breast exams, pelvic exams, and pap smears.

“I was so nervous about my first appointment; I had never had any kind of female exam. But everyone was so nice, they put me at ease. The staff was informative and helped me choose the right birth control to suit my lifestyle. They didn't make it awkward and I left that day with birth control.” - J.N.

“My regular doctor wouldn't give me birth control because of religious reasons so I came to Outlook. The staff were so helpful. They helped me pick the most appropriate method for my needs. I am older and knew I didn't want to have a baby in my 40's.” - A.E.
