About us
The mission of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (PPSAT) is to provide comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care services in settings that preserve and protect the individual’s right to privacy and informed decisions; provide educational programming that fosters a culture of healthy sexuality; and advocate public policies that advance these rights and expand access to these services.
Planned Parenthood was founded 100 years ago with the idea that all people should have the information and care they need to live active, healthy lives and fulfill their dreams. Planned Parenthood has grown to become the leading provider of women’s health, the largest political organizer, and the most resilient provider of medically accurate, comprehensive sex education in the US. As the one of the largest affiliates in the South, PPSAT plays an essential role in the Federation.
PPSAT is an essential health care provider that ensures quality, affordable health services for patients in need. PPSAT provides access to care through 14 health centers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Health centers provide a range of services including birth control consultation and supplies, gynecological exams, cancer screenings, GAHT, abortion, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing and options counseling, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
