Planned Parenthood Keystone's Monthly Newsletter Exclusively for Donors
September 2022
We provide care and education to thousands of patients each year, including over 11K self-pay patients who rely on us for their care. In fact, we spend $1.9 million annually on providing these services to self-pay patients alone. And only $1M of those costs are covered by block grants and income-based patient fees...

Another year has passed in what seems like an enduring pandemic. There’s no mincing words about how tough times have been for all of us. And yet, you’ve been here with Planned Parenthood Keystone. Thank you.

I hope that you will read it and start to integrate non-gendered language into your conversations.
