Commitment to health care


As a Board member, volunteer and supporter of Planned Parenthood of Southern Nevada, I feel that it is important for me to speak out about why I am involved with PPSN during Men’s Health Week. So often people think of Planned Parenthood as only a place where women can seek reproductive services, but Planned Parenthood is so much more. Planned Parenthood is a great place for men to seek reproductive health care, as well as comprehensive sexual education. PPSN has a long history of offering men’s health care services such as physical exams, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, testicular and colon cancer screenings, and cholesterol and high blood pressure tests. I got involved with PPSN because I believe that everyone should have access to high quality, affordable reproductive health care that is delivered in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. No one should have to go without that.  It’s so basic and so important. 

PPSN is a health care provider that welcomes everyone. They are committed to providing access to basic and reproductive health care for men and are affordable, convenient, and confidential. I support Planned Parenthood because they do amazing work and are a resource for all people in our community.
