Planned Parenthood Affiliate Closes 5 Health Centers in California After Loss of Funding

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, JUL 25 – Five closed Planned Parenthood clinics served 23,000 patients last year and layoffs exceed 60 staff due to a 50% revenue drop from Medicaid funding cuts, officials said.

  • Planned Parenthood Mar Monte closed five health centers in Northern California on Thursday due to recent federal funding cuts.
  • The closures came after President Trump's reconciliation bill, which prohibits Medicaid reimbursements to providers offering abortion services and includes a restriction beginning on July 4, 2025, lasting for one year.
  • Five centers located in Madera and other nearby communities provided care to more than 22,000 predominantly low-income patients, but have now resulted in over 60 staff members being laid off.
  • Stacy Cross, CEO of Mar Monte, described the situation as the toughest battle she has ever faced, while State Assemblymember Gail Pellerin condemned the budget cuts as an assault targeting reproductive rights and marginalized low-income populations.
  • These closures may disrupt access to critical healthcare in underserved areas, suggesting significant challenges for safety-net health services and patient continuity.
