As I reflect on the past year at Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC), I am filled with pride and gratitude for the incredible achievements and unwavering dedication of our team. Our commitment to excellence has been the driving force behind our efforts to provide affordable, high-quality, compassionate and non-judgmental health care to our community.
This year, PPOSBC has not only maintained its reputation for exceptional care but has also surpassed expectations by continuing to deliver the highest volume of services among all affiliates nationwide. We are proud to have provided over 270,000 medical visits. This remarkable achievement highlights our capacity and team’s dedication to meeting the health care needs of our community.
Our commitment to accessibility and equity is demonstrated by our provision of $2.9 million in services to those unable to pay.

We will continue to challenge this unjust moratorium until we achieve justice and can provide the vital services our community needs.
The diversity of our staff is a cornerstone of our strength and ability to serve our diverse community effectively. We believe that a diverse team fosters innovation, empathy, and understanding, enabling us to deliver the highest standard of care to all our patients.
Our dedication to providing high-quality, compassionate care is reflected in the feedback we receive from our patients. All nine of our health centers have earned a rating of four stars or higher on Yelp, a testament to the exceptional service and care our team provides daily.
As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission to deliver the best possible care to our patients. We are grateful for the trust and support of our community, and we are committed to continuing to lead the way in reproductive and primary health care with compassion, excellence, and integrity.
