Patient Voices in California
Millions of Californians lack access to quality, affordable routine health care, including sexual and reproductive health care. On Thursday, January 10, 2019, Governor Newsom’s budget included a historic investment in sexual and reproductive health care. With this investment, Planned Parenthood health centers can deliver for patients to meet today’s urgent needs, expand access for underserved communities, and invest in capacity for the future.
