April Shared Plate Recipient – Planned Parenthood Mar Monte

Mission

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte invests in communities by providing health care and education, and by expanding rights and access for all.
History

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM) is the largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the U.S., providing medical and education services to over 300,000 people annually at 30 health center locations in mid-California and Nevada.
PPMM was formed by a series of mergers of Planned Parenthood affiliates and independent health centers during the 1990s. The affiliate’s name was chosen to reflect a service area that stretches from the sea (mar) through the mountains (monte).
Health services include abortion (medication abortion and procedural abortion), birth control, emergency contraception (morning-after pill), gender-affirming care, HIV services, pregnancy testing & planning, STI testing & treatment, sexual and reproductive concerns, wellness & preventive care.
Every day, we are guided by the heart of our mission: providing excellent health care and sexual health education to tens of thousands of individuals and families — regardless of income, identity, or zip code
— with compassion and without judgment.
At Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, we’re passionate about delivering high quality, nonjudgmental health care and education to our communities.
