Why do we exist?

Since 1929, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate has been committed to delivering the highest quality reproductive and primary health care, teaching responsible and age-appropriate sexuality education and working diligently to protect a woman’s right to choose. Each year more than 50,000 women, men and teens visit Planned Parenthood Golden Gate's eight health centers.

What have you accomplished?

At Planned Parenthood Golden Gate we have built an expert team of caring professionals that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, clinicians, medical assistants, community educators and information specialists. Our team of trained educators provides a wide range of cutting-edge responsible sex education programs to 12,000 youth and their parents annually throughout Alameda, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Sonoma counties. And our group of 135 dedicated volunteers helps us deliver affordable and accessible care to all our clients. We have conveniently located health centers in San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Hayward, Oakland (2 centers), San Rafael and Rohnert Park that offer a wide range of reproductive and primary health care services. Our health centers have daytime, evening and Saturday hours. Clients can make confidential online appointments or by calling our appointment / information line at 1-800-967-PLAN (1-800-967-7526). We care about the community. In addition to Planned Parenthood Golden Gate's eight Bay Area health centers, we have established two satellite clinics in San Francisco open one day a week for populations with special needs. Our medical outreach program called Promotoras addresses the health needs of Spanish-speaking immigrant women in San Mateo County's poorest neighborhoods.
