That’s right! PPLM now offers patients the option of sedation during an IUD insertion. This decision to expand pain management options to include sedation was guided by our patients. By offering this option, we aim to alleviate some of the anxiety folks might feel about choosing an IUD and empower patients with a more positive experience in taking care of their sexual health.

Care. No Matter What.
About us
Our Mission The mission of PPLM is to protect and promote sexual and reproductive health and freedom of choice by providing clinical services, education and advocacy. Our vision is that sexual health is essential to every person's well-being. Our Vision for the Future At Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, we envision a future where sexual health is a personal and public health priority. We are working to normalize sexual health through our education programs and a public awareness campaign designed to get people talking about what sexual health is, what it means to be sexually healthy, and the changes we need to improve sexual health in our culture. We strive to create an environment and culture in which it is normal for parents to talk with their kids about healthy behaviors around sex and sexuality; to encourage young people to seek regular preventive care to reduce disease and unintended pregnancy, and create an environment in which people regard sexual health as important to them, and to society at large. We envision a future where there is universal understanding and support for the right of each person to responsibly manage his/her sexual and reproductive health. Women's freedom, equality and health will be enhanced by access to a full range of family planning options. When the right to family planning is accepted as fundamental and mainstream, there is the potential for each woman to fulfill her own dreams. We envision a future where laws will guarantee these rights and ensure access to quality health care, education and advocacy services. These services will be readily available in safe settings that preserve and protect the privacy and rights of each individual regardless of income, age, marital status, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Addressing pain management for IUD insertions and other procedures is long overdue - that's why PPLM added sedation options for IUD insertions & removals, LEEPs, and colposcopies in March. Fear and anxiety shouldn't prevent anyone from getting the health care they want or need. Read more at The Associated Press: https://lnkd.in/gfsHqHDZ

Our Sexual and Reproductive Health Residency Program for Advanced Practice Clinicians (SRH APC program) had a busy July. From July 21-23, our SRH APC residency team presented a poster on "Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health: A Residency Program for Advanced Practice Providers at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts" at the Consortium for Advanced Practice Providers 7th Annual Conference entitled, "Collaboration, Support and Community in Postgraduate APP Training" in San Diego, California. 🎉 Special shout-out to Jess B., Youri Hwang, PhD, FNP-BC, and Cailin Duram for attending and putting together the important work being done by the program! Next, our SRH APC program sponsors an IUD workshop that had Advanced Practice Clinicians from all over Western MA and Central MA convened in the Worcester office. Workshop attendees include our very own APCs, as well as primary care FNP residents located at community health centers in Worcester and Holyoke, members of our program's academic partnership with the UMass Chan Medical School Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing. This workshop was designed to offer additional hands-on IUD training experience utilizing a high-tech pelvic simulator.

Patients asked, we listened. We started offering patients the option for sedation for IUD insertion and removals at all our locations at the start of this year and the response has been overwhelming as more and more patients experience the level of care that they deserve.
It’s little shout outs like this that makes me love my job. #teamwork

"This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that concerns the regulation of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in the most effective medication abortion regimen. It's imperative to acknowledge the extensive ramifications of this case, as it could profoundly impact access to health care that people of all genders rely on to support their health, their families and their futures. The Court should follow the science and reject this politically motivated effort to restrict access to a safe and essential medication." 🔗 Read the full article below: https://lnkd.in/eHiCHVfR

17 years ago, Dominique L. started her career with Planned Parenthood right here at PPLM. Now, we're so excited to welcome her back — this time as our new CEO and President. "For me, Planned Parenthood is synonymous with empowerment, purpose, and joy." Says Lee, "It is my goal that every person who walks through our doors – whether they’re a patient or a staff member – feels the embrace of an organization that respects, uplifts, and cares for them, no matter what.” An expert health care leader and innovative public health strategist, Lee has dedicated her career to expanding access to quality, compassionate, culturally sensitive health care and advocating for health equity and social justice. Prior to this new role, Lee spent over a decade leading health center operations and managing patient services at multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates, culminating as chief operating officer at the largest affiliate, PP Mar Monte.
