Reproductive Health Services
Health services: Planned Parenthood of Nassau County (PPNC) ensures that the people in our community have access to the full range of reproductive health care services they both need and deserve - and we continued to keep that promise to the community throughout 2018. More than 14,000 women, men and teens (across 29,002 patient visits) turned to our health centers in Hempstead, Glen Cove and Massapequa in the past year for essential, lifesaving reproductive health care, including: testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted infections (STIs); birth control; emergency contraception; gynecological exams; pregnancy testing; infertility screening; breast and cervical cancer screenings; testicular cancer screenings; prenatal care; and HIV testing and counseling. Equally important, PPNC continued to offer safe and legal medical and surgical abortions. Moreover, in 2018, we continued to expand resources and care for young people through our weekly Teen Clinic, an initiative in which our Hempstead health center is open exclusively for teens on Friday evenings so that they may receive free or low-cost reproductive health care services in a teen-friendly, nonjudgmental and confidential environment. By keeping our doors open for teens, PPNC bridges the gap between education and access to care, and thereby reduces the likelihood of adverse sexual health outcomes, such as STIs and unintended pregnancies. Another highlight of the year included our work combating HIV/AIDS in Nassau Countys underserved communities through education, outreach, and treatment. In fact, in 2018, PPNC's HIV prevention program facilitated 6,311 HIV tests and continued to be one of the few providers in Nassau County to offer pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP), a daily pill that individuals at increased risk for HIV can take to prevent infection. Finally, PPNC is proud to have been designated by New York State Department of Health as a "Patient Centered Medical Home," which recognizes our efforts in providing important preventive services such as flu shots, diabetes screenings, and weight management services.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2018 – Dec 31, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$6.7MSexual Health Education

Sexual and reproductive health and rights advocacy: PPNC is dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the essential health care services and information they need to make informed and empowered decisions about their reproductive and sexual lives. In 2018, PPNCs advocacy work included educating and activating more than 20,000 advocates around reproductive rights issues such as the Title X domestic gag rule, threats to abortion access on the federal level, and state legislative priorities such as the Reproductive Health Act, the Comprehensive Contraceptive Coverage Act, and several other bills. This work was carried out through monthly activist meetings, a growing patient advocacy program, increased engagement with youth through the Activist Council for Teens and Youth Activist Council, college campus programs at several local schools, intentional community outreach in collaboration with the Education Department, and concerted efforts with a robust network of community partnerships. To achieve advocacy goals, PPNC strategically and innovatively organized phone banks, canvasses, rallies, letter-writing campaigns, trainings, lobby days, and several other events. Equally important, PPNC collaborated with community partners to promote civic engagement and social justice.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2018 – Dec 31, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$462.3K
