Planned Parenthood of Central PA began as the Maternal Health Clinic in York, PA in 1935. It was founded by a group of volunteers from York's leading society women who recognized that during the Great Depression there was a tremendous need for women to be able to space the births of their children. A great tradition of volunteerism continues at PPCP with approximately 85 volunteers providing 4,505 hours of service to our affiliate and clients. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kathryn at 717.845.9683 x 201.
