Celebrating World Contraception Day with Planned Parenthood

September 23, 2024

Observed annually on September 26th, World Contraception Day is a global campaign aimed at improving awareness of contraception and enabling people to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health. Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest is proud to be at the forefront of this mission, providing essential services and education to our community.

As we approach this day, it’s a good time to reflect on the crucial role that our employees play year-round, ensuring access to comprehensive reproductive health care services.

Our dedicated teams work tirelessly to ensure every patient receives high-quality, compassionate care in a judgment-free environment. Each of our 20 health centers across Imperial Valley, Riverside, and San Diego provide a wide range of patient-centered services, including:

  • Counseling and education on contraceptive methods
  • STI testing and treatment
  • Cancer screenings
  • Pregnancy testing and options counseling
  • Emergency contraception
  • Abortion
  • HIV prevention, testing, and treatment
  • And more

As a clinician at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, you have an opportunity to make a significant impact on people’s lives. Your expertise and compassion can help:

  • Informed decision-making: By providing accurate information about contraceptive options, you enable patients to choose the method that best suits their needs and lifestyle.
  • Reducing unintended pregnancies: Access to effective contraception is crucial to helping individuals plan their futures, including deciding if and when to start a family.
  • Prevent STIs: Through education and the provision of barrier methods, you play a vital role in reducing the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
  • Support overall health: Reproductive health is integral to a person’s overall well-being; your work contributes to healthier communities.

Contraception is essential for people to control their lives and make informed choices about their reproductive health. We’re working toward a world where contraception is widely available, free from stigma and discrimination, and meets the needs of ALL people.
