Project Description:
Planned Parenthood of Michigan will provide high-quality, affordable reproductive health care and comprehensive sexual health education to women and girls in Emmet and Charlevoix counties who primarily have low-incomes, are uninsured / underinsured or are undocumented.
Reproductive health care services may include: Well-woman exams, birth control, breast exams, cervical cancer screenings, colposcopy services or referral, abortion care, hormone replacement therapy, infertility education, mammogram referrals, menopause and midlife testing and treatment, Pap tests, and sexually transmitted infection (STI), urinary tract and vaginal infection testing and treatment. Additional services include LGBTQ+ services, HIV testing, and PrEP.
Education programs for young people includes abstinence based, comprehensive sexuality education that provides information on puberty, hygiene, healthy relationships and information on preventing pregnancy and STIs/HIV.
Goal of the Project
How many people will you reach?
750
What percentage are female?
100
If your program serves both males and females, how will Hestia funds specifically target women and girls?
Planned Parenthood of Michigan tracks all patients served by gender, age, race, income level and pay source. Using our patient data we will allocate the support from Hestia based on the needs of our female patients. At the Petoskey health center 90 percent of the patients served are female.
For the students who participate in our education programs we ask for their gender on our pre and post knowledge tests. On average females represent 50 percent of the students served through our education programs and community outreach activities. This information is tracked and will be used to allocate Hestia funds.
How are recipients identified or selected to receive services? Is financial need considered?
The criteria that will be used to identify recipients will include gender, income level and insurance status. Female patients ages 15 – 44 who have incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level ($19,320 per year for a single person in 2021) will be the primary recipients of Hestia’s funds under this project. Services are provided based on the unique need(s) of each patient.
Hestia funds are vital to providing under-resourced women and girls in Emmet and Charlevoix counties with access to high-quality reproductive health care at the Petoskey health center.
Education programs for young women will be funded by Hestia based on the total percent of female youth served. Planned Parenthood does not charge a fee for the delivery of our education programs and offers this as a service to schools and community groups and therefore must rely on individual donations and grant support.
What do you hope to achieve? What difference will this make in the lives of women and girls?
How will this project meet Hestia's mission statement?
In Emmet and Charlevoix counties there are 3,050 women and girls who need public support for contraceptive services and supplies according to the Guttmacher Institute. It is our hope to play a vital role in addressing this need by helping under-resourced women access affordable health care.
When women have access to reproductive health care they are more likely to prevent unplanned pregnancy, detect breast and cervical cancer in earlier stages so that it may be easier to treat and receive testing and treatment for STIs.
Sexual health education provides women and girls with the information they need to take care of their physical, emotional, mental health and teaches them how to have consensual and safe sexual experiences.
Providing women and girls with access to reproductive health care services and education supports Hestia’s mission by allowing women and girls to invest in their health, plan if or when to have children, prevent unintended pregnancy, complete their educational goals and pursue their career. Women who have access to reproductive health care have greater economic opportunities that support a more stable financial future and in turn improves the quality of life for women, their family and their community.
How will you evaluate or measure your success:
Success will be defined by reaching our goal to serve 750 women and girls from Emmet and Charlevoix counties. Planned Parenthood will use its electronic health record management system to track the demographic information of the female patients served such as insurance status, income level, county of residence and type of service provided.
To measure the success of providing girls with comprehensive sexuality education, Planned Parenthood uses a database to record the gender of students served, the session location, date, and title. When possible, post surveys are distributed to students to measure if their knowledge about the topic presented has increased. If students show an increase in knowledge about the topic, then the education session was effective.
