  Now is the time for action! 

It is more important than ever for North Texans to have the resources they need to take care of their sexual and reproductive health. With your help, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas is doing what we do best: providing essential healthcare and advocating for our patients. 

  Nearly 44,000 Texans visited North Texas Planned Parenthood health centers last year, for affordable healthcare services including:  

  • preventive wellness exams, 
  • birth control (including IUDs and implants), 
  • testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs),          
  • screenings for breast and cervical cancer, 
  • HPV vaccines to prevent cervical cancer, 
  • PEP and PrEP medication to prevent HIV, 
  • gender-affirming hormone therapy, 
  • and more.  

 We are making investments to better serve patients. Our Addison, Denton, Mesquite, and North Dallas Health Centers are new or newly renovated to provide high-quality care in updated settings. With your support, we expanded services to include new point-of-care testing and treatment for STIs with results available on-site within 30 minutes, paracervical blocks for pain prevention for IUDs, ultrasound services, and hosted pop-up clinics in Dallas. 

 Additionally, nearly 1,000 teens and young adults participated in our health education programs in DFW last year, learning age-appropriate information about their sexual health. Your North Texas Giving Day gift provides honest, inclusive sex education for teens, led by our education experts.    

We ask you to be committed to Caring for North Texas. No Matter What. — on this North Texas Giving Day.

Can we count on you? 


Giving Activity

Mission

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas provides trusted, evidence-based sexual healthcare and education while advocating for reproductive justice, care without judgment, and access to healthcare for all.

Needs

Texas has the highest percent of uninsured residents in the U.S. Over 5.2 million people--17.3% of the population--- are without health insurance. Texas also exceeds national poverty rates with 13.4% of Texans living below the poverty level (approx. $26,909 annually per person) (census.gov). Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas is an essential entry point into the healthcare system for tens of thousands of uninsured and low-income patients in North Texas. 66% of Planned Parenthood’s patients are uninsured and have annual household incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level (approx. $24,632 annually per person) (dshs.texas.gov).

Texas does not require sex education. Each year, more than 3.7 million Texas students do not receive even basic sexual health education, and of those that do, 58% receive abstinence-only education which is ineffective and stigmatizing for many teens. (advocatesforyouth.org). Science-based sex education plays an important role in the health and well-being of young people. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas provides high-quality sex education using an evidence-based approach to teaching young people about sexual health, relationships, and communication to empower young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and their lives.
