ABOUT US
Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC (PPMW) was founded on the visionary idea that access to sexual and reproductive health care could transform people’s lives. For over 80 years, PPMW has provided high quality, supportive reproductive medical care for families in the DC metro area. 

VISION:
At Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., we envision a society in which equity is a reality: where every person’s right to dignity, justice, and autonomy is fully recognized and protected; where accessing quality healthcare doesn’t depend on who you are or where you live; and where our community works together so that every person has the opportunity to lead their healthiest life.

MISSION:
We provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare, including reproductive care; promote sexual health; and advocate for reproductive rights and health equity for all.

COMMITMENT TO EQUITY:
We provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare, including reproductive care; promote sexual health; and advocate for
reproductive rights and health equity for all. Racism, cis- and hetero-normativity, and white supremacy are ongoing public health threats that permeate every American institution; medical and feminist spaces are not exempt. Planned Parenthood values the fundamental freedom of all people to control their own bodies, lives, and futures; this is intrinsic to our vision and we are committed to challenging the systems that threaten this goal. As we do this work — in the spirit of our principles of respecting and honoring all people, and constantly evolving to be a more representative and justice centered organization — we will continue to put our patients, communities, and staff at the center of everything we do.
