Today is #NationalRuralHealthDay, and we're thinking about the hundreds of rural Mainers who lost their primary care doctor when politics got in the way of healthcare.

While this setback is devastating, we will never stop fighting for Maine's rural communities– because everyone deserves healthcare.

Our Board President, Barbara Schneider, wrote to the @nytimes.com in response to today's story on threats to medication abortion access.

It’s not just Planned Parenthood; MFP & another provider were impacted by Medicaid cuts. It will become even harder for everyone in the state to get health care.

Designing sex ed curriculum that is inclusive of and relevant to trans students isn’t about promoting “gender ideology”, it's about promoting healthy choices for students of all identities. We’re grateful to Attorney General Frey for fighting for Maine’s transgender students by joining this lawsuit.

Hundreds of Mainers are without a primary care provider. For many of them, we were the only healthcare provider they saw in a given year. Read more from FOX ABC Maine about the devastating effects the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” has had on Maine Family Planning and our patients:
