In-Person Events

Safer Sex Kit Packing Event

Monday, May 12, 2025

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., Brewster

Join us to pack safer sex kits while we picnic in the park! These kits include a wide range of barrier methods and information on safer sex practices. The kits will be distributed to students and community members in Putnam County at no cost. The park has a pavilion so this event will go on rain or shine.

Cheese Board Game Night

Thursday, May 22, 2025

6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Cold Spring

Come join us for a night of community, cheese assortments, and board games to promote menstrual equity.

To enter the event, we ask that all attendees please bring an unopened pack of menstrual products (tampons, pads, panty liners, menstrual cups, etc.) which will be donated to local food / item pantries throughout Putnam County. 

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.
