We’re deeply grateful to Governor Lamont for allocating $10.4 million to PPSNE to help offset shrinking federal reimbursements and frozen family planning grants.

This funding helps protect access to essential health care for our communities, so we can provide care, no matter what.

The pill has been trusted for over 50 years, with millions using it safely.

With perfect use, it’s 99% effective, but real life happens. Missed pills mean it’s about 93% effective in reality. ✨
