Planned Parenthood has been serving patients across Texas for 90 years. Planned Parenthood provides 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 four 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.
Two-thirds of Planned Parenthood patients are under-insured or uninsured. For the 20% of Travis County residents ages 18-65 who do not have health insurance, PPGT is a vital sexual and reproductive health resource. Here in Austin, and across the country, lack of access to health insurance overwhelmingly affects our Black and Latine neighbors. Your generosity provides our patients with access to healthcare. In 2024, we served more than 12,000 patients in the Austin area. Despite operating in a hostile political environment and under an extreme abortion ban, our Austin health centers are delivering more care than ever because Texans are counting on us.
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. For Austinites seeking time-sensitive birth control, or STI appointments, we’re proud to be here to provide care every day of the week. Planned Parenthood is a trusted resource for young people seeking health information. Our Teen Advocacy Board (TAB) empowers high school teens to be a knowledgeable resource for their peers about sexual health. TAB members bring essential information about contraception, STI prevention, healthy relationships, and more to their peers in Austin.
