Planned Parenthood is closing three clinics in Michigan including ones in Petoskey and Marquette, in anticipation of funding cuts from the Trump administration.
Ashlea Phenicie is the spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
She says about 16 percent of the organization’s budget is from Title 10 family planning dollars.
In Michigan, Title 10 does not cover abortions or gender affirming care but it does fund other services Planned Parenthood provides.
“This funding loss really is targeted at birth control, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, those core family planning services,” Phenicie said.
The closures will make it so Traverse City is the closest Planned Parenthood office in Michigan for the entire Upper Peninsula. There is also a clinic in Green Bay, WI.
Phenicie says other Planned Parenthood affiliates in other states have received notice they’ll be losing Title 10 funding - and Michigan anticipates the same thing.
The clinics officially close April 30. Planned Parenthood will have 10 clinics in seven counties after the closures.
