These forward-thinking, brave individuals were committed to helping women who wanted to prevent unwanted pregnancy and make decisions about the size of their families. During its first year, this Locust Valley-based health center made birth control counseling and supplies available to the community’s then predominantly white married population, serving nearly 500 patients and operating on a budget of less than $5,000.
The Mother's Birth Control League became incorporated as Planned Parenthood of Nassau County in 1973.
