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
