Planned Parenthood South Atlantic provides high quality education that reflects the needs of young people, their parents, our patients, and the communities we serve. We focus on helping young people achieve their full potential while ensuring communities gain access to the health care and information they need.
Our evidence-based programs teach young people to make lifelong healthy decisions. We use a peer education model to equip them with medically accurate, age-appropriate information about reproductive health and teen pregnancy prevention. This helps them make responsible decisions and become accurate sources of information for their friends and community. We have education outreach programs throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.
