Since 1937, Planned Parenthood has provided quality, compassionate healthcare from expert clinicians, medically accurate, inclusive sex education from professional educators, and a fierce commitment to a world in which everyone can access quality healthcare and information to live their lives fully, without judgment.
Planned Parenthood’s 4 Austin health centers offer annual exams, the full range of birth control methods (including IUDs and implants), testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), screenings for breast and cervical cancer, HPV (human papillomavirus) and flu vaccines, PrEP and PEP HIV prevention medication, UTI and infection treatment, gender-affirming hormone therapy, and more. Planned Parenthood is committed to providing quality sexual and reproductive healthcare to the 20% of Travis County residents ages 18-65 who do not have health insurance, including our Black and Hispanic neighbors who experience even higher uninsured rates.
To expand access to healthcare appointments for patients juggling work, school, and childcare, at least one of Planned Parenthood’s four Austin health centers are open 7 days a week, helping us to see close to 10,000 patients across the Austin-area in 2023. Over the last year Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas has seen a 21% increase in clinic visits, and as of spring 2024, PPGT now offers gender-affirming hormone therapy across our service area – from Austin to El Paso, and even online!
