Developing Situation at a Planned Parenthood Health Center in Sarasota
For Immediate Release: May 23, 2016
At Planned Parenthood our top priority is the safety of our patients and staff. The situation at our Sarasota Health Center is still developing. All staff have been evacuated, with seven taken to the hospital to monitor their health. No patients were on site. We are grateful to emergency responders and law enforcement for their quick response.
Here in Florida and across the country, Planned Parenthood has strong security measures in place, works closely with law enforcement agencies, and has a very strong safety record.
We are looking into the cause of this issue and will keep you informed of our progress.
