About Me



Call us at 1-877-811-PLAN (7526) for an appointment!


PPGI provides high quality, affordable reproductive health services to Iowa women and families, regardless of ability to pay; education that is age-appropriate and medically accurate; and advocacy to ensure our right to choose.

Did you know that 96% of PPGI’s services are prevention-related?


Planned Parenthood's services are individualized and confidential just as the decision to be sexually active and to use birth control is personal and private. Check out our website: www.PPGI.org.
