Planned Parenthood relocates Wenatchee Health Center

WENATCHEE - Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho (PPGWNI) has officially opened its new health center in Wenatchee at 609 Okanogan St., signaling a significant shift aimed at expanding access to reproductive health care in the area.

The move from its former location to this nearby site, just one block away, offers logistical advantages, being strategically positioned along the Link Transit Route 3 bus line. The facility boasts improved parking options and ADA accessibility, ensuring a more convenient experience for patients seeking reproductive health care services.

CEO Karl Eastlund emphasized the broader impact of the relocation, stating, “Our new health center location helps ensure enhanced access to low-cost, high-quality reproductive health care in the Wenatchee Valley area. We are extremely grateful to our local community of Planned Parenthood supporters and all our dedicated staff members who helped make this move happen.”

PPGWNI anticipates a gradual rise in patient visits over the next five years, projecting an influx of individuals from out-of-state seeking care in Washington. The comprehensive range of services offered includes wellness exams, STI testing and treatment, birth control, gender-affirming care services, PreP, emergency contraception, medical abortion, and preventative care.

Looking ahead, PPGWNI plans to host an invitation-only Open House in 2024 for its supporters.
