Our Impact

Our 50-State Network brings together health care professionals nationwide to support policies that improve patient care, protect public health, and ensure access to essential services. By collaborating with physicians in every state, we amplify the voices of those on the front lines of health care and address the unique challenges faced by diverse patient populations in different regions.

We champion reproductive rights and family freedom, ensuring that every individual has access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion and the ability to make informed decisions about their health and their families’ futures.
