WILLIAMS President & CEO Board Chair Pennsylvania. 2 PLANNED PARENTHOOD Patient Services 02 Accomplishments We continued to enhance our patients’ access to our health centers by adjusting hours of operation and appointment availability. At our surgical centers, we launched phone-based sessions for the state-required informed consent; by eliminating the need for two in-person visits, we greatly improved the patient experience. We expanded hormone therapy services to the transgender community to a second location, adding services at our Pottstown Health Center. In May, we began offering PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of HIV) services at our Norristown Health Center. We created a more integrated staffing model among our research department and health centers for more efficient study screening and enrollment. We continued to provide high-quality, affordable and convenient reproductive healthcare, detailed as follows: • 63,546 family planning visits • 97,005 STI tests were performed. were provided to 38,518 women, • 4,742 doses of Emergency men, and teens.

These efforts were aimed at denying reimbursement to Planned Parenthood for services through the Medicaid program. We fought hard with our community partners against these and all attacks.
