Today we welcome our new President and CEO, Nan Whaley, to Planned Parenthood 🌟 Nan’s dedication to advancing reproductive health and education in Ohio has been demonstrated time and time again in her work as a public servant. Her leadership comes at a pivotal point in our history, where increasing access to abortion and meeting the needs of our community has never been more important. 🎥 Watch to hear more from Nan about the future of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio, and to learn why your support is needed now more than ever.

Today marks two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal protections for abortion access. Since then, we've witnessed attacks on sexual and reproductive health on all fronts. We have also seen historic wins, like right here in Ohio, where the passing of the Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution last November. But our fight isn't over. We know people should have the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and futures. We are committed to challenging remaining restrictions on abortion, and to expanding the reproductive health care services that our community needs. Support our mission to make reproductive health care, including abortion, accessible for all: ppswo.info/donate
