Two Planned Parenthood Affiliates Merge
June 12, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
Planned Parenthood affiliates, in Connecticut and Rhode Island, are merging to form Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, reports the Hartford Business Journal.
The combined organization will continue to run 18 health centers in Connecticut and one in Providence once the merger is final, which could happen as soon as July, said Judy Tabar, chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Connecticut.
As resources have dwindled, other Planned Parenthood branches nationwide have merged, causing the organization’s ranks to shrink to 95 from 120 in the past five years, said Ms. Tabar.
