About Us

The mission of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida is to provide affordable access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care and accurate health information through patient care, education and advocacy.

Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, an affiliate of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. began operations in 1966 and presently provides vital sexual and reproductive health services, as well as comprehensive sexuality education to people of all genders and ages throughout southwest and central Florida. Our common sense approach to health and well-being is based on respect for each individual's right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex, and family planning.

Medical services include lifesaving cancer screenings, birth control, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, breast health services, gender-affirming care, abortion care and more. Planned Parenthood is also committed to providing comprehensive, age-appropriate and medically accurate sexuality education, and advocating for policies that enable Americans to access comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care, education, and information.

We seek a world in which all individuals have equal rights, dignity and privacy; where sexuality is expressed with honesty, equality and responsibility. We believe that the decision to bear children (or not) is private and voluntary.

Planned Parenthood's sexual health services are individualized and confidential. We are dedicated to serving, educating, and protecting the confidentiality of everyone seeking medical care. Health centers are welcoming to all, regardless of race, ancestry, national origin, creed, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, income or age. One in five American women has chosen Planned Parenthood for health care at least once in her life and we are committed to continuing to earn your trust.

Health centers are conveniently located throughout our region and are open during daytime, evening and weekend hours. Planned Parenthood is here for you no matter what.
