Planned Parenthood

     Most of you have probably heard of Planned Parenthood before, if not actually utilized their services. Nevertheless, we want to give a brief summary of what the organization is, the services they offer (specifically the Middlebury Planned Parenthood in town), and more. We think this is important to not only clarify misconceptions about Planned Parenthood, but also because FAM works closely with them and we want to ensure that the student body is aware of that.

     Planned Parenthood is a national, non-profit health care provider that delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people in this country. It is one of the nation's leading providers of high-quality, affordable health care and the nation's largest provider of sex education. The organization dates back to 1921, when Margaret Sanger opened the first birth-control clinic in the U.S., located in Brooklyn, NY. Today, Planned Parenthood operates approximately 700 health centers throughout the country.

 

    Planned Parenthood's mission is fourfold: to directly provide reproductive and complementary health services, to advocate public policy, to educate, and to promote research in reproductive healthcare technology. 

 

 

 

Some Planned Parenthood fun facts:

  • Planned Parenthood serves 2.7 million men and women every year.

  • One in five women in the U.S. has visited a Planned Parenthood health center at least once in her life.

  • Planned Parenthood provides nearly 4.5 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections.

  • Less than three percent of all Planned Parenthood health services are abortion services.
