Our History



Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio (PPNEO) is a new affiliate of the most trusted reproductive health care organization in the world.

In July 2007, Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio became official after the successful consolidation of Planned Parenthood of Greater Cleveland, Planned Parenthood of North Central Ohio, Planned Parenthood of Stark County, Planned Parenthood of Summit, Portage and Medina Counties, and Planned Parenthood of the Mahoning Valley.

Although PPNEO doesn't have a lengthy history, it is making history as the largest successful affiliate consolidation in Planned Parenthood Federation of America's history. Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio was made possible due to the hard work of a dedicated consolidation team made up of the Executive Directors and Board Leadership from each of the pre-PPNEO affiliates, along with the generous financial support of several individuals, families, foundations and organizations. This consolidation promises to be very beneficial for our clients, our supporters, and our community stakeholders.

"It is not enough to look backward with pride, justified as that pride may be. We must look forward with hope and confidence, too. The real lesson of the past is that it shows us what can be done in the future." — Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood (pictured here)
