Thank You, Team PPPSW: Honoring Your Service, Strength, and Support

November 18, 2025

As the holiday season approaches, we’re taking a moment to recognize what drives Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest: our people, our patients, and our shared belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality sexual and reproductive health care.

Every day, our team shows up with compassion, courage, and commitment—providing lifesaving care, comprehensive sex education, and steadfast advocacy while ensuring every patient feels respected and supported. This month, we’re spotlighting moments that reflect who we are and the communities we serve:

Transgender Awareness Week

Transgender Awareness Week (Nov 13–19) is a time to uplift and honor trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive communities. We are grateful for the staff who provide gender-affirming care with dignity and respect, and who facilitate trustworthy patient-provider relationships , and create safe, welcoming spaces for every person who comes through our doors. Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest is proud to provide inclusive sexual and reproductive health services to all of our patients. We strongly believe everyone deserves access to affirming and compassionate care.

Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience

On November 20th, we honor the lives of transgender people lost to anti-trans violence and join communities nationwide in remembering them. At PPPSW, we reaffirm our commitment to affirming, compassionate care—and remain committed to uplifting trans voices, and advocating for safety, dignity, and access to care for all.

Thanks, Birth Control Day

Thanks, Birth Control Day (Nov 12) celebrates the power of birth control to help people shape their futures, pursue their goals, and make decisions that are right for their lives. At PPPSW, we honor the providers, educators, and advocates who ensure patients have access to the full range of contraceptive options and information they need. From counseling and prescriptions to education and outreach, our teams support reproductive freedom and wellness every day.

With Gratitude and Purpose

This season reminds us how vital reproductive health care is—and how grateful we are for everyone who makes this work possible. To our patients, supporters, staff, volunteers, and partners: thank you for standing with us.

Together, we are expanding care, strengthening education, and fighting for a future where everyone can make decisions about their own bodies and lives. We are proud that so many mission-driven professionals choose to grow and lead at PPPSW.
