Farmington, NM—Patients, advocates, and community leaders will come together to show support for reproductive health care access & to celebrate keeping the Farmington Planned Parenthood health center open. The celebration will include a blessing of the Farmington health center, led by clergy affiliated with the NM Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
Earlier this year, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains announced the difficult decision to close their health center in Farmington, NM. Following this announcement, PPRM received overwhelming support from Farmington and the surrounding areas, and is proud that through the generosity of multiple donors, the Farmington health center will be able to remain open and continue offering reproductive health care services.
This event is open to members of the media.
