Planned Parenthood to Closes 4 Minnesota Centers Amid Budget Cuts
- Planned Parenthood North Central States announced it will close four clinics each in Minnesota and Iowa within a year due to funding losses and restrictions.
- The closures follow a $2.8 million federal fund freeze in Minnesota, proposed Medicaid cuts, and abortion restrictions, including Iowa's six-week abortion ban implemented last year.
- The clinics set to close in Iowa include the state's sole Planned Parenthood location offering abortion services, situated in Ames near Iowa State University, as well as additional facilities in Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, and the suburb of Urbandale.
- Ruth Richardson, the affiliate’s president, stated that they have been striving to maintain a struggling system amid changing circumstances and ongoing challenges.
- The shutdowns will lead to 66 employee layoffs and 37 transfers, while Planned Parenthood continues investing in telemedicine serving 20,000 yearly patients virtually across five states.
