Prenatal Care
Access to Services
State funding for our prenatal program was slashed by 60 percent, but thanks to the support of friends like you, the program is still going strong. Through the prenatal program, every woman who walks through our doors—no matter how much money she has or what language she speaks— receives high-quality, compassionate care throughout her pregnancy.
Our mobile unit, the Plan Van, is now stationed on both Nassau Community College and Adelphi University campuses, allowing us to offer young people on-the-spot birth control, STD testing and sexual health information.

Providing women ages 19 to 26 with free HPV vaccines was already a routine part of patient care at PPNC. In 2011, we expanded this service to include men, which will go a long way in helping to curb the spread of this common sexually transmitted disease (STD), as well as lower the rates of certain types of cancer.
Optimal Patient Care A major project for 2011 was adopting a new Electronic Health Records (EHR) and practice management system. Replacing paper files with this new technology helps ensure that patients are more easily treated, have improved health outcomes and receive high-quality care. In addition, we are betteraccommodating our patients by offering more same-day and nextday appointments.
