CFHC’s History
CFHC was originally incorporated in 1968. CFHC as it is known today was formed in 1997 when it merged with the Los Angeles Regional Family Planning Council (LARFPC). Prior to the merger, LARFPC and CFHC had more than 30 years combined experience supporting the delivery of family planning services throughout California. In 1998, CFHC absorbed Education Programs Associates, a women’s health care training and resource agency.
