It’s been three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, and despite a hostile landscape and the patchwork quilt of laws, bans, and restrictions, providers have adapted to meet patient needs.

We're committed to building health care that meets the needs of everyone, including communities that face the most significant barriers, like Black, Indigenous, low-income, and rural communities. Every person who gets the care they need matters.

The political violence that took place in Minnesota last weekend is devastating. We are still reeling with emotions in the wake of the attacks on Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman, and their families.

As this is an ongoing situation, we are working with local law enforcement to ensure that there is increased patrol coverage around each of our facilities for the foreseeable future.

Planned Parenthood health centers are the only source of health care for many patients. Many rely on Medicaid & other federal/state programs. "Defunding" Planned Parenthood is very unpopular. We can stop it, but we can't do it without you! ➡️ ImForPP.org 🎨liberaljane

Republicans in Congress are targeting Planned Parenthood health centers for providing abortion care—in the process, they're punishing millions of patients who need essential services like birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, & more. Say #ImForPP: p.ppfa.org/together

(1/2) Planned Parenthood health centers cannot be replaced in the health care system, and they don’t get a blank check from the federal government. Like any other health care provider, Planned Parenthood affiliates are reimbursed for services patients get at health centers.

The cuts to Planned Parenthood funding will be devastating to patients and women’s health overall. I spoke to my good friend Ruth Richardson, CEO of @ppnorthcentral to hear about the impacts on the ground.

With so much happening this year, it's easy to miss news about small wins for reproductive rights. That's why we want to reflect on the visits that MN House Reps made to our health centers, as well as U.S. Rep. @KellyMorrisonMN! We're grateful they support PP's mission and care.

This week, Rep. @AndySmithMN, Rep. Tina Liebling, & @RepKimHicksMN visited our Rochester Health Center to show support for sexual & reproductive health care. As more people are forced to travel for essential health care, it's critical to have access to care in Southern Minnesota.

Last year, our Mankato health center moved closer to MSU-Mankato's campus and launched medication abortion services to expand care in Southern MN. We're proud to help people traveling from other states like IA and SD get the care they need. Thank you @RepLFrederick for visiting!
