- Teen pregnancy prevention cuts hit Wisconsin program connecting health providers and teens
Federal funding cuts to Wisconsin's Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program eliminated $2.4 million in grants, defunding a program called PATCH that employs teens to improve healthcare provider communication. PATCH, operating since 2010, trains teens to consult with providers on youth needs and lost $130,000 annually for two fiscal years.
