In observance of Independence Day, our health centers are closed on July 4th. As we think about the freedom and independence that define our nation, we are reminded of the ongoing fight for reproductive rights and access to health care. True freedom includes the right to make decisions about our own bodies and futures. PPMW stands committed to protecting these essential rights every day.

Florida's six-week abortion ban has created a health care desert, leaving millions without essential reproductive care. At PPMW, we've seen a surge in patients traveling hundreds of miles to reach us. We remain committed to providing the care and support our patients need, even in these challenging times. 📽️: @nowthisimpact
