59th Anniversary Celebration

Thursday, April 14, 2022

Join us for a hybrid event, with in-person* and virtual options

*In-person space is extremely limited

For 59 years, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest has been proud to provide accessible, affordable sexual and reproductive health care. This year we celebrate with Ready. Resilient. Brave. — a nod to the courage of our staff, donors, and patients; and our movement’s determination to provide compassionate care today, tomorrow, and always, no matter what.

As more people lose access to care in their home states, we will be prepared to provide safe and legal abortion services and sexual health education. We’ll train the next generation of expert providers. And we’ll advocate for policies that protect and expand access to health care for all.

JOIN VIRTUALLY

Join the Honorary Committee and celebrate with us in person!
