News and Stories: Help Planned Parenthood Continue to Provide Lifesaving Health Services

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation has announced that it will stop supporting lifesaving breast cancer screening for low-income and underserved women at Planned Parenthood health centers.

Over the past five years, Komen funds have enabled Planned Parenthood health centers across the nation to provide nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams and referrals for more than 6,400 mammograms. These cancer detection and prevention programs saved the lives of women who often had nowhere else to turn for care.

While this is a deeply disappointing decision that was made because of political pressure, we do recognize that Komen has been instrumental in the significant improvement in breast cancer treatments, and because of their work, many lives have been saved.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana will continue offering breast exams for women and remains committed to offering high quality, affordable care to patients at our 28 health center s across the state, staffed by highly skilled nurses and physicians.
