“I would always recommend Planned Parenthood to anyone because I feel like the patience and communication from the nurses and providers are genuine. You don’t get that from other providers, so Planned Parenthood will always be the number one choice for me!”
-Sylvia, an El Paso Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas patient
Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas builds healthier communities. Six years ago, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas re-opened in El Paso providing trusted reproductive and sexual healthcare and education. In 2024, our commitment to the border community remains strong as we prepare to open a newly constructed El Paso health center —a new home for care! Your generosity and commitment make care possible.
Since Planned Parenthood’s health center opened in 2018, more than 19,000 patients have received affordable, expert healthcare. Our team is proud of their roots in the region and the culturally competent, bilingual care and education they provide. In-person and through telemedicine, we are a trusted resource for sexual healthcare in the border community. Planned Parenthood patients count on us for healthcare services that include:
• Birth Control including IUDs and implants
• Gender-Affirming Care for patients ages 18 and up
• HIV testing and prevention
• Pregnancy Testing and Planning
• STI Testing and Treatment
• HPV and flu vaccines
• Wellness and Preventive Care
Community health educators are available to answer questions about sexual and reproductive health 6 days a week through Planned Parenthood’s national chat/text program. El Pasoans rely on this service for answers to questions about sexual health in real-time.
Planned Parenthood’s education team has built a partner network to deliver science based, culturally competent, bilingual sexual health education in the border region. Our community health educators offer education workshops, including Planned Parenthood’s signature Puberty Parties and Habla Primero/Talk First programs in English and Spanish at no cost for participants.
Puberty Parties are science-based education workshops for children in 4th and 5th grades that create a safe, age-appropriate environment for children to learn about social, emotional, and physical changes, healthy friendships, menstruation, and how to talk to trusted adults. Habla Primero is an education program that empowers parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to have important conversations with their children to support their health and informed decision-making.
With your support, we are proud to be celebrating six years of healthcare and education in the El Paso community. Thank you for standing with us.
As of 2024, 81% of Planned Parenthood’s patients are uninsured. Patients are eligible for Equity Funds, to receive healthcare at little to no cost, if they are uninsured and earning low-incomes.
Through donor support, Planned Parenthood serves as an essential source for healthcare for thousands of uninsured, low-income patients in the Paso del Norte community.
We are committed to creating equitable access to healthcare for all, regardless of documentation or insurance status, income level, where you live or who you love. We’re grateful for your support and look forward to Planned Parenthood’s next chapter in El Paso!
