About us
THE WORK OF PPGP: For more than 80 years, PPGP has been delivering high-quality, affordable, reproductive health care services. By providing clinical services, education, training, and advocacy, it seeks to help individuals make informed decisions about their reproductive health, family planning options, and sexuality. In order to make these ideals a reality, PPGP provides people with accurate information and access to highly trained practitioners for preventive care. PPGP’s expansion and revitalization serve to educate a new generation of reproductive health and rights supporters and promote greater access to affordable contraception, preventive treatment, safe abortion, and other critical reproductive health services. PPGP operates twelve high-quality health centers throughout Arkansas, Kansas, the Mid-Missouri region, and Oklahoma, with a centralized call center and online appointment scheduling. The medical staff includes three board certified OB/GYN physicians who provides abortion services, as well as nurse practitioners who collaborate with physicians to provide reproductive health care, perform examinations, and diagnose and treat infections. During 2015, our health centers provided 40,000 visits for comprehensive reproductive health services to 20,000 patients PPGP provides comprehensive, age-appropriate sexuality education to more than 5,000 participants each year. Programs offer a variety of interactive sexuality education presentations to schools, churches and community groups on a broad range of topics. PPGP is a leading advocate for reproductive rights, working tirelessly to block legislation that restricts access to sex education, contraceptives, and abortion. To conduct more in-depth advocacy efforts, PPGP created the Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes (PPGPV), a sister corporation of PPGP organized under IRS Section 501(c)4.

Today, we wanted to shout out one of our amazing abortion providers, Dr. Salina Sandoval. With unwavering dedication, Dr. Sandoval stands at the forefront of reproductive rights, providing essential abortion care at PPGP, not only to Kansans, but those in neighboring hostile states who have to travel to receive essential health care. Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Sandoval. 💙

Every individual's journey through health care is unique, yet disparities persist. In Columbia, Missouri, the challenges faced by newcomers like Sophia Piral shed light on the need for equitable access to quality care. The absence of reliable data on maternal mortality rates among Hispanic women underscores the urgency of our mission. At Planned Parenthood Great Plains, we're committed to bridging these gaps, advocating for inclusive health care policies, and ensuring that every person receives the support they deserve. https://lnkd.in/gp562GjM
In Missouri, it's hard to count how many Hispanic women die from pregnancy issues

Recent studies show the devastating impact of abortion bans, especially on BIPOC communities. The repercussions are profound, exacerbating maternal mortality rates for Black women. We must confront systemic racism in health care and fight for equitable access to reproductive care. If you're passionate about making a difference, join us in our mission. Apply to be a part of the change! https://lnkd.in/gdNNSuNF https://lnkd.in/gm5RDhvA
