Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) is undergoing a financial crisis attributed to Medicaid underfunding, resulting in a significant budget shortfall. To address this, PPGNY has requested a $2.5 million funding expansion from the New York City Council to sustain essential services for nearly 7,500 residents. This plea is part of a broader campaign for increased funding in the New York State budget. As multiple challenges persist in the reproductive health sector, including high costs and care restrictions, PPGNY's leadership stresses the urgency for financial support to ensure continued care access.
The state of sexual and reproductive care is at a breaking point even here in New York, said Dipal Shah, chief external affairs officer of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York.
PPGNY is calling on the City Council for additional support, requesting an expansion of $2.5 million to help close its budget gap and maintain care.
