About Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region

Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region's mission is to provide access to high quality affordable health care and education that empower people to make informed private decisions about their reproductive lives and sexual health. Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio is one of 56 locally governed affiliates of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

For almost 90 years, Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio has been the leading reproductive health care provider, educator and advocate for communities within 23 counties of Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky. Five health centers in the region provide a wide range of reproductive health care services to tens of thousands of patients which translates into over 35,000 separate appointments during last fiscal year. As a vital part of the community, Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio has earned the trust of more than 20,000 patients annually, more than 6,000 donors and supporters, and thousands of advocates and volunteers. There is a ‘movement’ taking place and many people are coming off the sidelines to support Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio – in fact, their donor list has increased by nearly 600 people this year alone and the Foundation has more than $11 million in assets to support the mission and work of PPSWO.

With a current operating budget of more than $16 million, PPSWO is the region’s largest provider of reproductive health care and education and has been named a Top Workplace in Cincinnati for seven of the past eight years.

Care. No matter what.

PPSWO has been a leader in promoting sexual health for more than 90 years.  We believe that all people deserve the information and expert services to make informed, personal decisions that affect their health, their lives and their futures.  We are the region’s leading provider of sexual and reproductive health services. We educate families and empower youth to make responsible choices that lead to healthier lives.  We advocate for policies that improve sexual health.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

PPSWO believes sexual health is essential to every person’s overall health, well-being and happiness. We recognize that geographical and systemic barriers entrenched in discrimination and stigma prevent people from having equitable opportunity to choose their own path and access to sexual and reproductive health care. In order to address health equity in communities across Ohio and northern Kentucky in an authentic way, we must start with ourselves. We are taking focused steps to make progress in our own organization. We have embarked on a diversity, equity and inclusion journey that will lead us toward becoming an organization that better reflects our patients and embodies cultural humility. We are wholeheartedly committed to this work.
