At Your Appointment
When you come for your first visit, you will be asked questions about your health—past and present—and about the health of your immediate family. Honesty in your reply is vital! Client information is strictly confidential.
Please feel free to ask questions at any time. You will always be treated with respect.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality means that you have privacy when you talk with our health center staff about certain issues, like sex, drugs, or any emotional/mental issues. We will not release information to anyone who is not authorized by you in writing. This means that no one—not even your parents or your partner—will know about your visit to Planned Parenthood without your permission.

Security
Q. Will there be protesters outside Planned Parenthood?
A. We often have protesters, but not always.
Q: Why are there protesters outside Planned Parenthood?
A: The protesters believe that Planned Parenthood's mission to provide women with affordable health care and the full range of reproductive health care options is wrong.
Q: What can the protesters do?
A: They can carry signs, and approach you to offer you pamphlets or try to talk to you. They are not allowed to touch you or block your way into the health center. You do not have to talk to them or take their literature. The safest strategy is to ignore them.
Q: Can you make the protesters leave?
A. As long as the protesters do not break the law they have a right to protest. We monitor the protesters carefully and are in regular contact with law enforcement. If you feel a protester has acted inappropriately, please let us know immediately.
