About Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon (PPSO):
Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon (PPSO) is part of the nation's largest and most trusted sexual and reproductive health care organization. For over 55 years, PPSO has been a foundation in Oregon communities, providing essential reproductive healthcare services and empowering individuals and families to make their own informed and responsible health care decisions.
We work to serve more than 30,000 individuals a year with healthcare and 10,000 individuals with sexuality education. As the primary provider of sexuality education in Oregon, our award-winning education and training program catalyzed a shift to redesign Oregon's plan around adolescent sexual health, the first of its kind in the nation. Oregon leads the nation in setting the gold standard in providing access to reproductive health care. PPSO was co-recipient of Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s 2018 Excellence in Advocacy award, along with in- state partners Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon and Planned Parenthood of Columbia Willamette.

We seek a world in which all children are wanted and cared for, all people have equal rights and dignity, sexuality is expressed with honesty, equality, and responsibility, and the decision to have children is private and voluntary.

To ensure the right of all individuals to manage their sexual and reproductive health, by providing health services, education, and advocacy.
