Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California (PPAC)

Ppac advocated to protect and expand access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion services. We also advocated for continued funding for medi-cal reimbursement rates for providers of medi-cal services to cover costs and increase access to family planning services. California's Planned Parenthood health centers collectively provide nearly 1.3 million patient visits annually. Almost 90% of Planned Parenthood's patients are low income and most received services through state medi-cal programs. Funding for family planning services is crucial to ensuring access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive care to all californians.

Ppac provided policy analysis, legislative and regulatory advocacy, community organizing, training, education, technical and legal services that support California Planned Parenthood Affiliates and are related to sexual and reproductive health, sexual education, and access to preventive health care. Ppac also worked to expand access to sexual and reproductive health care, family planning, and other preventive health care services like breast and cervical cancer screening and sti testing and treatment.

Ppac supported capacity building for the public to engage in policy and advocacy activities that result in increased access to sexual and reproductive preventive and primary health care services for communities that are underserved and people who have low income.
