All Programs

Planned parenthood california central coast provides high quality, low or no cost health services across five health centers in san luis obispo, santa barbara and ventura county. In 2021, ppccc served 24,000 unduplicated patients by providing a wide-range of reproductive health services including birth control, sexually transmitted infections (sti) testing and treatment, breast and cervical cancer screenings, hpv vaccines, well-person care and abortion. Over half of these patients were living in poverty and 81% were considered low income or 200% of the federal poverty level. Ppcc distributed over 121,000 condoms and provided over 63,000 tests for sti in order to combat the statewide increase in infections.

Planned parenthood is dedicated to supporting and defending public policies that protect women's health and advance reproductive rights. This includes educating the public and elected officials about the impact that local, state, and federal policies have on the communities served by planned parenthood.

Ppccc provides evidence based sexuality education programs to nearly one thousand young people along the california central coast each year. Thousands more benefit from educational outreach, including health fairs and community presentations. Programming is designed to empower participants to make healthy decisions, and reduce rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
