Planned Parenthood health centers will never stop caring for patients, and care will continue—no matter what.

However, under the federal budget bill it will be nearly impossible for New York's Planned Parenthood affiliates to continue to provide care for Medicaid patients without being reimbursed. If the New York State leaders do not step in to address this loss of federal funding, health centers will close and that impacts everyone.

The Trump administration and their backers in Congress “defunded” Planned Parenthood, a move that stops patients with Medicaid from using their insurance to pay for the care they get at Planned Parenthood health centers.

We’re fighting this unconstitutional, targeted attack on your health care and your rights—and that means things might change rapidly. The PPGNY team will keep you updated.

Book online via the link in our bio so we can help you get the care you need. Our doors are still open and we're still here to provide birth control, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, and more.

This bill is cruel, and that’s the point. House Republicans don't care that their vote to “defund” Planned Parenthood puts the health and lives of their constituents at risk. They only care about shutting down Planned Parenthood and ending abortion access nationwide. At this time, we want to assure you that there is no change to PPGNY care and services, and our doors are open to all, including those on Medicaid. We are proud to continue to offer care to all who walk through our doors, and to fight for health care access for all. Visit ppgreaterny.org to book your care. We’re here for you.

July is Disability Pride Month! Sexuality is part of every person’s life, and this includes people with disabilities. While everyone experiences s*xuality in different ways, every person, including young people with disabilities, deserves bodily autonomy, informed consent, and equitable access to s*xual and reproductive health care and education.

Project SHINE, a multidisciplinary network of intellectual and developmental disability experts, self-advocates, and s*xual and reproductive health professionals (including PPGNY) works to address inequities in s*xual health by ensuring accessible education and health services for youth with intellectual and developmental disability ages 16-24, and the people who support them...and last spring, we launched an incredible s*xual health toolkit and educational online game!

The "Your Sexual Health Toolkit", featuring the interactive online game "Our Stories, Our Journeys: A Sexual Health Game" was created in response to reports by the network highlighting that licensed professionals, parents, and caregivers lack suitable tools and methods to communicate with youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities about s*xual and reproductive health, bodily autonomy, s*xuality, and consent.

Project SHINE envisions a world where youth with intellectual disabilities have equitable access to high-quality information, affordable health care, and supportive laws and policies that promote autonomous, informed s*xual wellbeing and overall optimal health across the lifespan.

The Trump administration cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ youth su***de prevention hotline, which receives over 400,000 contacts per year.

Let's call “defunding” Planned Parenthood what it is: a backdoor abortion ban. This bill will deepen the health care crisis by pushing reproductive care — like birth control, cancer screenings, abortion, and more — dangerously out of reach.

This month, we honor Pride, Juneteenth, and Immigrant Heritage Month, which gives us an opportunity to emphasize the importance of intersectionality. While each observance focuses on a distinct community, many individuals live at the intersection of holding multiple identities, including being Black, LGBTQ+, and immigrant. Collectively, these observances are all celebrations of liberation, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equity.

In our latest blog post, we explore how to educate ourselves about the issues impacting individuals at these intersections, supporting grassroots organizations doing the work, amplifying marginalized voices, and advocating for policies that protect human rights.
