About Me


Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania (PPSP) believes that every child should be a wanted child. A wanted child allows women and men to achieve self-determination which results in a stronger family unit and a stronger society. Our Mission is to protect and enhance reproductive freedom, to increase access to reproductive health care services and information, and to promote sexual health. This mission drives the comprehensive programs and services that PPSP provides, reaching over 43,000 women, men and teens throughout the Philadelphia area.
If you have an urgent medical question you can call 1.800.230.PLAN and they can help you out! If you have an emergency, then stop typing and go to your doctor or the emergency room!
If you need Emergency Contraception call 1.888.NOT2LATE.
