Looking Ahead: Pride Month

Multiple dates and locations

At PPHP, we believe everyone should have the freedom to live an authentic life, and we honor and celebrate the diversity, strength, humanity, and power of LGBTQ+ communities.

LGBTQ+ people are important to the PPHP community — they are our patients, staff, and supporters. LGBTQ+ communities are part of the reason we fight to provide healthcare, information, and education, as well as reproductive freedom in Westchester, Suffolk, Putnam, and Rockland counties.

This June, join us at a Pride event! Click the link below so see where we will be for Pride!

Take Action

No Cuts to Medicaid

Right now, Congress is considering cuts to Medicaid. Let’s be clear: cutting Medicaid funding only harms people and puts care out of their reach. We need you to call and email your representative to demand they vote NO on cuts to Medicaid.

Everyone deserves access to affordable, quality health care – which Medicaid provides. Cutting Medicaid will widen health care disparities in our community. This is unacceptable.

Sign Up | Where Are We Now?

With a new NYS budget, plus rapidly evolving attacks on sexual and reproductive rights at the federal level, we know there is a lot of information to digest.

Join us for Where Are We Now? on Tuesday, May 20 at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom to unpack what's happening at the federal level, as well as discuss the progress we've made at the state level to obtain funding for sexual and reproductive health care. We'll level set and strategize where we go from here.
