Affordable Health Care is Available NOW

President-elect Barack Obama has asked Planned Parenthood Federation of American to provide his office with information on our priorities for health care reform. We are gathering input from people like you right now, and will share your stories at the end of the month. One thing that is very clear to us, is that the need for Planned Parenthood has never been greater than it is right now.

Millions of people rely on Planned Parenthood for access to high-quality affordable care right NOW. But as the unemployment rate continues to rise and the 46 million uninsured American’s are join by thousands more each day, we want to remind people that we are here for you — and your family and friends — with high-quality personal care at an affordable (many times FREE) cost.

Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan has been providing reproductive and sexual health care in Kalamazoo since 1966 and in Battle Creek since 1991. In the last year, we expanded our services even further when we opened health centers in Coldwater, Hillsdale, Sturgis and Three Rivers.

Health care at Planned Parenthood is MUCH more than birth control! Do you need an annual exam? When you come in for your annual check-up, we screen for low blood iron, high blood pressure, breast cancer, cervical cancer, testicular cancer and infections. We also participate in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program that provides free mammograms and cervical cancer screening and treatment for women age 40-64.

So, don’t wait! Make an appointment for you — or someone you love — today! We can usually see you the same day, or next day. And, if you can’t wait for an appointment, we have convenient walk-in hours at all our health centers! So, start the New Year off right by taking care of yourself. Planned Parenthood is here to help!
