Dear Joreth,
When I visit Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers, I like to ask the educators and nurses what they think is the most important thing we can do to improve reproductive health in our communities. After all, they're on the frontlines every day, so they know better than anyone.
Here's what they say: Expanding access to preventive care, including contraception and STD testing, will do more than anything else to improve reproductive health for young people.
That's why I'm so proud to announce Get Yourself Tested 2009, and why I want you to join in today.
Get Yourself Tested is Planned Parenthood's biggest effort ever to make sure everyone who should get tested for STDs has access to the services they need. In partnership with the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV, many of our affiliate health centers are offering low cost or no cost STD testing. Click here to learn more.
If you or someone you know is at risk for an STD, click here to find your nearest participating health center. Sexually active but not sure what tests you might need? We've created a simple online quiz to help you decide — just click here.
I want to make sure that everyone, especially teens, can get tested, get care, and get the information they need to protect their health. Along with contraception, it's the best way we can slow the spread of HIV and other STDs among sexually active people. Please visit www.GYT09.org to learn more — and share information about this important program with everyone you know.
Our affiliate health centers always strive to provide the best care regardless of the patient's ability to pay. This April, we are doing everything we can to make sure we encourage as many people as possible who may be at risk to come in and get tested. This is why Planned Parenthood exists — to protect and promote reproductive health for women, men, and teens.
If you or someone you know has been waiting for the right time to come in to a Planned Parenthood affiliate health center — the time is now. Click here to find the nearest participating health center. And even if you or those you know are not in need of care, there's plenty more you can do. Visit www.GYT09.org to find out how you can help, and stay tuned for more details throughout the month of April.
Thank you for supporting Planned Parenthood and all our efforts to protect and promote reproductive health for women, men, and teens.
Sincerely,
Cecile Richards, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
