BREAKING NEWS: Governor Parson just signed a bill to block Missourians who rely on Medicaid from getting essential health care, including birth control, cancer screenings, annual wellness exams, and STI testing and treatment at Planned Parenthood — despite past efforts being ruled as unconstitutional. Planned Parenthood health centers serve nearly half of all patients who rely on family planning safety-net providers in the state. Other providers cannot absorb the thousands of patients impacted by this “defunding” attack. All our Missouri health centers remain open, and we plan to continue caring for patients with Medicaid. But we need YOUR help. Support Planned Parenthood on Give STL Day here, so that we can continue providing care to our Medicaid patients: https://lnkd.in/gEf2a93x

“Let’s be clear — Missouri’s safety net cannot keep up without Planned Parenthood health centers, which provide high-quality health care to thousands of patients a year. These attacks on care come at a huge cost to our patients’ well-being and the ramifications are felt by all Missourians across the state.” — Richard Muniz, interim president & CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri

Our Teal Wand is currently in clinical trials across 16 medical locations and this Women’s History Month, we want to share a peek behind the clinical trial curtain to feature some of the incredible Principal Investigators (PIs) we have leading the charge at our clinical study sites. Our trial has been moving faster than expected because of the efforts of these women and the amazing participants signing up to be part of the trial. We are honored to have such great partners sharing in our vision of bringing self-collect cervical cancer screening to the US. #womenshistorymonth #tealhealth #womenshealth

We're honored that Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and our partners at Hedy & Hopp have received a 2023 Healthcare Marketing Impact Award from Modern Healthcare and Ad Age. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we've focused on getting people the information and resources they need to access abortion. Using paid search and Meta ads, our Regional Logistics Center campaign successfully raised awareness among people in states with abortion bans about transportation, lodging, and financial assistance available to access abortion at our health center in Fairview Heights, IL, and Hope Clinic.
