Dear Friends,<br />

Our incredible patients inspire us with their stories every<br />

day. Kate has beaten cervical cancer not once, not twice,<br />

but three times. A young, thirty-year-old mom without<br />

insurance and with a pre-existing condition, she knew<br />

one place she could always count on for the care she<br />

needed was <strong>Planned</strong> <strong>Parenthood</strong>. And we were there<br />

for her, providing a diagnosis that saved her life, and<br />

offering compassionate, non-judgmental health care.<br />

As you well know, women’s access to health care was<br />

again under attack in 2011 at the federal, state, and<br />

local levels. Yet through it all, our highly trained doctors,<br />

nurses, and other health care professionals proudly came<br />

to work every day so that people like Kate would have<br />

access to the care they need. Our doors remain open to<br />

everyone, no <strong>matter</strong> <strong>what</strong>.<br />

The support that we’ve felt has been magnificent.<br />

Throughout it all, you have made it possible for us to<br />

be there for Kate, and tens of thousands like her. It is<br />

because of your support that we are the leading provider<br />

of reproductive and sexual health care in our region.<br />

Letter from the President & CEO and Board Chair<br />

One in five women has turned to us at some point in their<br />

lives. Tens of thousands of women and men in our region<br />

rely on us as their medical home, and we are honored to<br />

serve them.<br />

As we look into the future, we pledge to do even more,<br />

opening our doors to additional people—just like Kate.<br />

We want to optimize new technologies to empower<br />

women, men, and teens. We want to expand our scope<br />

of practice and offer accessible health care to a broader<br />

range of people.<br />

Without a doubt, our life-changing work would not be<br />

possible without your generous kindness.<br />

With grateful thanks,<br />

Sarah Stoesz Stacey Mills<br />

President & CEO Board Chair
