The best people I know are driven by compassion. They are big-hearted, kind, and spend their days caring for others without judgment. They do hard, important work because they believe that it matters.

And they are criticized for it, endlessly. They face relentless attacks from powerful people who want nothing more than to stop them from doing their jobs. Yet they still show up, every day, for the patients who are counting on them.

The staff at Planned Parenthood health centers — nurses, doctors, greeters, and more — are truly amazing people, and I think they deserve to hear that. Today marks Planned Parenthood's 103rd anniversary, and we hope you'll celebrate with us. Will you take a moment to sign on to our "thank you" letter to Planned Parenthood staff and volunteers today?

CELEBRATE 103 YEARS OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD WITH A MESSAGE FOR HEALTH CENTER STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS To all the nurses, doctors, office staff, volunteers, and others who serve patients at Planned Parenthood health centers: Thank you. Thank you for delivering quality care to everyone who walks through your doors, no matter what. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Thank you for never judging. Thank you for always listening. Your dedication makes a difference every single day for patients no matter who they are, where they live, or how much they earn. You ease minds, heal bodies, and save lives. There are plenty of voices out there who will try to interfere with your work and shut you down. I want you to know that there are so, so many of us who see you and appreciate you. From all of us: thank you.

Sign Your Name

In our 103-year history, one thing has never changed: The dedication of staff who work every day to serve patients. And that commitment matters so much to the people who rely on Planned Parenthood. They know that no matter what happens or where they are in their lives, there is a place they can turn, filled with people who will put their needs first.

No politics, no judgment, no stigma. Just a patient who needs care, and an incredible group of people who will make sure they get it.

If you or someone you love has ever gotten that kind of care and compassion, please join me in thanking Planned Parenthood health center staff and volunteers for their tireless commitment to their patients, no matter what.

I'm proud to work side by side with these folks, and so grateful for their extraordinary commitment to delivering the kind of quality care their patients deserve. I hope you'll take a moment to say "thank you" to the doctors, staff, volunteers and others who care for patients at Planned Parenthood health centers every day.
