A significant proportion of delaware women rely on subsidized services for their family planning care. In fiscal year 2016, planned parenthood of delaware served over 13,000 clients, 65% of whom were at below 150% of poverty each year. We see increasing numbers of patients who are either uninsured or underinsured although costs continue to escalate and the challenge to provide affordable care is increasingly more difficult. We do not turn anyone away due to lack of funds.
