Caring for All.

January 18, 2023

Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest stands for care, and the health and well-being of our employees is equally as important as the care we provide to our community members. Because care is so fundamental to our mission, vision, values and who we are as an organization, we are equally dedicated to ensuring that our partners and benefit providers demonstrate the same commitments to health equity. 

Here is what it means for our community.  

All services offered at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest are available to patients of all genders. Our medical staff is highly trained, compassionate, and respectful of individual patient needs and preferences, and we offer gender-affirming services in our health centers and on telehealth. 

Our gender-affirming care services include:

  • Feminizing (estrogenizing) Hormone Therapy, including estrogen and spironolactone
  • Masculinizing (testosteronizing) Hormone Therapy, including testosterone

In addition to hormone therapy, we offer many sexual and reproductive health services, such as HIV prevention (PrEP and PEP), STI testing and treatment, birth control, abortion, and screenings for cervical and breast cancers. We also offer referrals for additional services like laser hair removal, legal support, and referrals for other social services as needed.
