Planned Parenthood of Louisiana & the Mississippi Delta

 Peter J. Durkin
 President and CEO of
 Planned Parenthood of
 Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta

We're nearing the end of September, which is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and Planned Parenthood of Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta is encouraging women to visit their health care providers to receive basic, preventive cervical cancer screenings and treatments to help save their lives. Please make sure that you and the women in your life visit a health care provider to receive basic, preventive cervical cancer screenings and treatments. Visit our website to find a Health Center near you.

As an essential community provider, Planned Parenthood plays an important role in delivering quality, affordable care to millions of women nationwide who would not otherwise be able to afford it.  As Congress continues the debate over health care reform, we must do everything we can to ensure community providers and comprehensive reproductive health care are included in the health care reform package.  Women's health must be a priority - women should not be worse off after health care reform than they are today.

Please call Senator Landrieu today and let her know that women's health matters!  (202)224-5824

   

This year 18 supporters joined team Planned Parenthood at the NO/AIDS Walk in New Orleans to help raise awareness and support for organizations dedicated to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.  Our team raised close to $1500 for the NO/AIDS Task Force and Planned Parenthood.  Thanks to all that walked and helped us raise these important funds!
