Oregon’s Planned Parenthood branches transition to new leadership

Both of Oregon’s Planned Parenthood branches recently welcomed new CEOs. Dr. Sara Kennedy will oversee Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette, which operates clinics in Vancouver, Washington, the Portland metro area, Salem, Bend and Ontario. Amy Handler will oversee Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon, which has clinics in the Eugene-Springfield area, Grants Pass and Medford. 

They’re taking over at a time when other states, including Idaho, continue to restrict access to abortion and other reproductive health services. Kennedy and Handler join us to talk about how Oregon’s Planned Parenthood network is responding.
