Planned Parenthood offers reliable health care, sexual education and advocacy. On campuses and online platforms alike, in statehouses and courts and across communities alike, Planned Parenthood promotes policies which uphold people’s right to choice and reproductive freedom.
Planned Parenthood holds to the belief that all people, no matter their race, religion, gender identity or immigration status are full human beings and that is why we strive to be an anti-racist organization.
Why Choose Planned Parenthood?
Planned Parenthood offers reproductive healthcare to people in rural areas, LGBTQ individuals and those with low incomes – often these people would otherwise struggle to gain access to medical care services – but now face renewed attacks from both President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers in Congress.
Planned Parenthood has long championed access to comprehensive reproductive and sexual health services and information for all people. Margaret Sanger led the push for legalized abortion in America.
Planned Parenthood remains committed to advocating for abortion law reform and providing safe, legal abortion services in the US each year for an estimated 2.4 million women and men. They also offer contraception, sexual education programs, testing for and treating sexually transmitted infections as well as screenings for breast and cervical cancer screenings.
Even amid ongoing political battles, most Americans support Planned Parenthood’s mission and work. A majority of both Democratic men and women, as well as most Republican women support continuing current funding for Planned Parenthood to cover non-abortion services that low-income people receive via Medicaid.
Planned Parenthood’s federal funds–other than abortion services–go toward preventive health care services for its over 520,000 annual patients, such as vaccinations, helping women navigate STI/STD prevention options and supporting research to find better methods of treating sexually transmitted infections and diseases.
Planned Parenthood is an invaluable source of health care and sexual education throughout the U.S. Over half of those visiting its health centers are uninsured; most are people of color living in rural communities and those with lower incomes; many face barriers that prevent them from seeking medical help when needed, such as long wait times at clinics outside Planned Parenthood; therefore it is crucial that any proposals for replacing the Affordable Care Act includes safeguards protecting Planned Parenthood services.

At CareNow, we believe in your right to access care whenever, wherever and however you choose. Our services are open and available to everyone regardless of income or insurance coverage; simply call or visit one of our health centers for information or an appointment – plus there’s even Telehealth for homecare access!
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), founded in 1916, has grown into an impressive national organization with 82 locally-governed, independently-operated affiliates across the country and nearly 800 health centres. Over 90% of our services are preventive – such as contraception for unintended pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections like HIV testing and treatment; as well as helping our patients navigate health insurance systems by providing enrollment assistance for Marketplace plans or Medicaid enrollment.
Planned Parenthood is a pioneer in community-based healthcare that is both high quality and cost effective. Our work is guided by our moral commitment to our patients – this has kept us strong even through legal setbacks or acts of violence such as abortion clinic bombings or patient intimidation.
At our core, we are a community of women and men working towards an ideal world without barriers to lifesaving sexual and reproductive healthcare and education. That’s why, in addition to advocacy and electoral activities, we lead Planned Parenthood Global with partners globally to increase access to sexual and reproductive healthcare and information – especially where poverty, lack of medical staff, politics or war prevent people from receiving the healthcare they require and deserve.
We’re a Qualified Health Plan (QHP)
Planned Parenthood is an invaluable health care provider, educator and advocate for millions of women, men, and young people in the United States. Each year, Planned Parenthood provides sexual and reproductive health services and education to more than 2.5 million patients; regardless of President-elect Donald Trump’s mixed messages regarding our organization and his threats to reduce federal funding for it, we remain dedicated to continuing our work with an emphasis on equity and inclusion.
Every year, more than 2.4 million individuals visit Planned Parenthood health centers; among these visitors are people from diverse communities such as people of color, rural residents, LGBTQ patients and those with low incomes who traditionally experience barriers to receiving quality healthcare services. Without Planned Parenthood’s centers being available they would likely face long wait times or be denied vital preventive services like birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings that are otherwise available through other organizations.
Planned Parenthood enjoys overwhelming public support in terms of its mission and vital services they offer, with three-quarters of Americans favoring federal Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services – even among Republican women, more support retaining current funding levels than oppose it.
Planned Parenthood provides comprehensive and compassionate healthcare to patients insured through Kaiser, their employer’s plan or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), regardless of your insurance plan type. We accept most major plans and also provide affordable payment options for those without coverage or underinsured patients.
Planned Parenthood services have long been seen as a lifeline in communities with few health care providers; indeed, Planned Parenthood has an in-network status with over 15 state and local health insurance programs.
Planned Parenthood is proud to be part of the larger health and wellness community, standing side-by-side with 17 million supporters nationwide–activists and donors who help us advance policies protecting basic sexual and reproductive rights.

We’re a Qualified Health Center (QHC)
Planned Parenthood has long been known for providing its patients with quality health care. Comprised of nearly 800 independently governed local affiliates nationwide, Planned Parenthood offers sexual and reproductive healthcare services such as birth control, STD testing and treatment as well as cervical cancer screenings; additionally it also provides comprehensive health care counseling.
Planned Parenthood’s services are open and available to everyone. In rural areas, Planned Parenthood clinics may be the sole provider of health services available there, while their staff work tirelessly to make sure all patients can access medical attention regardless of insurance status or budgetary considerations. It has been estimated that losing funding to Planned Parenthood could leave millions without access to healthcare.
Planned Parenthood provides healthcare services to a diverse population that includes low-income, minorities, rural communities and LGBT individuals residing therein. Their health centers strive to offer welcoming environments for patients of all identities.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood sites serve 32% of safety-net family planning clients, and these clients tend to opt for long-acting reversible contraceptives more often, be referred for abortion from another provider and seek HIV screenings more frequently than their counterparts.
Planned Parenthood’s health centers offer reliable, nonjudgmental information regarding birth control options and abortion services, while their telehealth program, Planned Parenthood Direct, makes getting birth control convenient – anytime from any location with internet access; no doctor appointment necessary!
Planned Parenthood’s national advocacy work fights policies that restrict access to healthcare and reproductive rights. With 18 million supporters around the country donating funds in support of Planned Parenthood’s mission and policies that facilitate full range health care & reproductive rights access for women & girls globally in Africa & Latin America; its advocacy work plays an essential role.
