New York - Today, at approximately 2:30 a.m., a car crashed into Planned Parenthood of Greater New York's (PPGNY) Massapequa Health Center, causing significant damage. Fortunately, no one was in the building at the time of the crash. The driver was taken into custody by the Nassau Police Department. Local law enforcement does not suspect that this was a targeted attack. The investigation is ongoing.

PPGNY is committed to fully repairing the center and getting it back open as soon as possible. Patients can book appointments at our nearby health center in Hempstead.

Statement by Joy D. Calloway, Interim President & CEO, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York:

“We are troubled that our Massapequa Health Center has received such significant damage, and at the same time relieved that no one was in the building at the time of the incident. We are resilient, and we are committed to the Massapequa community and bringing this center back online as soon as possible. In the meantime, we are rescheduling our patients and staff at our nearby Hempstead Health Center to ensure patients can still get the high-quality, compassionate care they need.”
