Planned Parenthood of Northeast, Mid-Penn & Bucks County

Programs: Reproductive health care: planned parenthood is the leading provider of reproductive health care. Patients pay for examinations, tests, treatments and methods of birth control according to an income-based, sliding fee scale. Most insurance plans are accepted, as well as medicaid and other publicly-funded insurance programs. As their lives unfold, women and men visit planned parenthood variously for contraception education and supplies, annual gynecological exams, sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, pregnancy tests, cervical cancer screening and treatment, and abortion care. While abortion services account for less than 5 percent of our services, planned parenthood is committed to ensuring that it is safe, legal and affordable.

comprehensive sexuality education: the comprehensive sexuality education we offer in schools and community organizations utilizes medically accurate, age-appropriate information to help young people acquire healthy attitudes and behaviors regarding human development and sexuality. Our goal is for teens to delay sexual activity or, if they become sexually active, to do so responsibly. Either choice enables them to prevent the potentially life-changing consequences of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.

advocacy: through public policy and public relations efforts, ppnmpbc ensures that the communities we serve are aware of legislation and policy that threatens or weakens their access to care. Ppnmpbc works with its constituents to engage in public debate, to educate our legislators to make informed decisions and to collaborate with other key stakeholders to improve access to nonjudgmental reproductive health care and comprehensive sexuality education.
