The hotlines include: the CHOICE Hotline for general reproductive and women's health information, serving the five-county Philadelphia area; the Pennsylvania Department of Public Health AIDS Fact Line for information about HIV/AIDS related issues which serves the entire state; the Children's Health Line which helps families obtain free or low cost health care and insurance coverage for their children; and the CHOICE Teen Line, which provides sexual health counseling and education to young callers.CHOICE is on the list of instructional resources recommended and approved by the Philadelphia School District to provide sexual health education in the City's public schools and in the City's ELECT, MARS, and TWILIGHT programs for parenting teens. CHOICE is currently active in 180 schools, after-school programs, community sites, hospitals, and churches.
