Planned Parenthood is one of the nation’s leading
providers of high-quality, affordable health care for
women, men and young people, and the nation’s
largest provider of sex education. For nearly a
century, millions of women and men have turned to
Planned Parenthood for vital health care services,
sex education, and sexuality information. Today,
the work of Planned Parenthood is carried forward
by 38,000 staff members and volunteers. In 2012
(the latest year for which we have figures),
Planned Parenthood provided nearly 4.7 million
people worldwide with the means to make
responsible choices about their sexual and
reproductive health. (Planned Parenthood
Federation of America [PPFA®] is a founding
member of International Planned Parenthood
Federation, [IPPF] whose affiliates serve tens of
millions more.)
Health Care Services
The core of Planned Parenthood affiliate medical
service is prevention including STD testing and
treatment, contraception, and accompanying health
care, education, and information. In 2012, we provided
nearly 11 million medical services for nearly three
million people, and helped to prevent approximately
515,000 unintended pregnancies. Seventy-nine
percent of our clients have incomes at or below
150 percent of the federal poverty level. As of
December 2013, our more than 700 health centers are
operated by 68 affiliates, which have a presence in all
50 states and the District of Columbia (PPFA, 2013a;
