Mississippi Health Center FAQs

Why is Planned Parenthood Southeast temporarily closing the Hattiesburg health center?

The Hattiesburg health center is temporarily closed due to an emergency provider shortage. We are exploring many options to resolve this issue as soon as possible. However, due to the provider licensing requirements, the necessity for the physician to be local in Hattiesburg, and overall provider challenges in the region resulting from the damaging impacts of the overturn of Roe v. Wade, an immediate and simple solution is not currently available.

 

How long do you predict the temporary shutdown to last?

At the moment, there is no formal timeline for the temporary shutdown. We will update the status of the health center as soon as we have more information.

 

What are options for patients seeking care in or around Hattiesburg, Mississippi?

Planned Parenthood Direct is available for patients in Mississippi. Through Planned Parenthood Direct, patients can order birth control, UTI treatment, and more from a Planned Parenthood provider. Additionally, we are currently assisting patients in accessing local providers for care. 

Formal communications to patients notifying them of the closure, options for care, and medical records will be disseminated as soon as possible.
