Founded in 1933 by Pasadena residents dedicated to women's health, PPPSGV is not only among the oldest of Planned Parenthood affiliates—we're also one of the fastest growing. Today, we see over 60,000 patient visits per year and deliver over 15,000 opportunities for sex and relationship education in our schools and colleges.
Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley (PPPSGV) is an affiliate or member of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) – one of 67 across the country. PPPSGV provides on-the-ground reproductive health care, health education and advocacy for local people across Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
PPFA is a national organization and does not provide direct medical services in local communities, but serves as a resource for policymakers, media and health care providers. PPFA does set medical standards for all Planned Parenthood affiliates in the United States and, in so doing, ensures the high quality healthcare offered by its affiliates.
The local and national organizations conduct independent fundraising campaigns, but work to coordinate these efforts.
