Overview

Mission

The mission of planned parenthood of nassau county, inc. (ppnc) was to compassionately and respectfully empower individuals to make independent, informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive lives by providing access to medically-sound health care and educational services, and by promoting public policies to make those services available to all. To achieve this mission, ppnc provides: high quality, affordable, comprehensive reproductive health care and counseling services that are offered with respect and confidentiality; sexuality education and training programs for teens, young adults, parents and professionals; and leadership and advocacy for public policies that preserve choice and guarantee individual rights. The organization merged with planned parenthood of greater New York (ppgny) january 1, 2020. The organization transfered all net assets to ppgny at december 31, 2019.

What it reported doing in 2019

Health services: planned parenthood of nassau county (ppnc) ensures that the people in our community have access to the full range of reproductive health care services they both need and deserve - and we continued to keep that promise to the community throughout 2019. More than 14,800 women, men and teens (across 30,001 patient visits) turned to our health centers in hempstead, glen cove and massapequa in the past year for essential, lifesaving reproductive health care, including: testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted infections (stis); birth control; emergency contraception; gynecological exams; pregnancy testing; infertility screening; breast and cervical cancer screenings; testicular cancerscreenings; prenatal care; and HIV testing and counseling. Equally important, ppnc continued to offer safe and legal medical and surgical abortions. Moreover, in 2019, we continued to expand resources and care for young people through our weekly teen clinic, an initiative in which our hempstead health center is open exclusively for teens on friday evenings so that they may receive free or low-cost reproductive health care services in a teen-friendly, nonjudgmental and confidential environment. By keeping our doors open for teens, ppnc bridges the gap between education and access to care, and thereby reduces the likelihood ofadverse sexual health outcomes, such as stis and unintended pregnancies. Another highlight of the year included our work combating HIV/AIDS in nassau county? S underserved communities through education, outreach, and treatment. In fact, in 2019, ppnc's HIV prevention program facilitated more than 6,000 HIV testsand continued to be one of the few providers in nassau county to offer pre-exposure prophylaxis (prep), a daily pill that individuals at increased risk for HIV can take to prevent infection. Finally, ppnc is proud to have been designated by New York state department of health as a patient centered medical home, which recognizes our efforts in providing important preventive services such as flu shots, diabetes screenings, and weight management services.
