Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM) has a simple mission: Care. No Matter What. PPLM has been a leader in promoting sexual health for more than 90 years and we strongly believe that all people deserve care no matter who they are, where they live, or who they love. As the state’s leading provider of sexual and reproductive health services, we educate families and empower youth to make responsible choices. We do all this because we care passionately about helping people lead healthier lives.
With more than 600 health centers across the country, Planned Parenthood organizations serve all patients with care and compassion, with respect, and without judgment, striving to create equitable access to health care. Through health centers, programs in schools and communities, and online resources, Planned Parenthood is a trusted source of reliable education and information that allows people to make informed health decisions.
ASPIRE CENTER:
The ASPIRE (Advancing Science & Practice Through Innovations In Research & Education) Center was established to advance excellence and equity in sexual and reproductive health. ASPIRE strives to destigmatize sexual health along with access to sexual and reproductive health care by producing evidence-based knowledge. The goal is to advance policies that reduce systemic barriers that disproportionately prevent Black, Indigenous, other people of color, LGBTQ+ people, young people, and people with disabilities from accessing quality sexual and reproductive health care. ASPIRE conducts clinical and social science research, evidence-based professional education, and clinical training, in partnership with academic institutions, teaching hospitals, health care professionals, social service and community-based organizations, schools, educators, and peer institutions.
