Planned parenthood cutting staff-Open Door Community Health Center receives funds

Hopefully this will become a trend. It is time to see the abortion industry eliminated, therefore stopping the holocaust of the innocent.

Note: We need to look at the bottom paragraph again. It states, "But, she said, instead of funding the Planned Parenthood clinic in Marion, the council and the Indiana State Department of Health decided to award funds to a competitor setting up shop there , Open Door Community Health Center."

The St. Joseph Register has to admit...we need to hear more about the Open Door Community Health center. The workers listed below (from Open Doors website) list Planned Parenthood on their resumes'.

President and CEO Betty Cockrum added a sixth clinic, in Marion, to that list Wednesday.

There had been no drop in demand for services in Marion, the agency said. But, like the four Indianapolis metro-area clinics and one other slated to close, it relied on federal Title XX family-planning funds to operate and pay for some patient services.

The jobs being cut are 17 full-time and eight part-time positions. Those affected include service providers, finance specialists, administrators and managers.

The cuts will leave Planned Parenthood with 28 clinics and about 175 employees in the state. The remaining clinics will keep the same hours, including weekends and evenings.

"In every tough situation, there is an opportunity," Cockrum said. "We have evaluated our operations up, down and sideways to ensure we strengthen our sustainability."

In addition to the clinic in Marion, sites will be closed in Anderson, Kokomo, Franklin and Shelbyville. The only Indianapolis site on the list is Northwest Planned Parenthood on Michigan Road near 86th Street. The six centers serve about 9,000 clients, mostly low-income women, each year.

The combined closures will save $1.35 million, Cockrum said. The group's annual budget is $15 million. Planned Parenthood receives funding from patient fees, government grants, private donations and foundation donations.

Planned Parenthood said that except in Marion, the clinics targeted for closing could not sustain their operations just with the income they generated.

The Marion closing is another story.

Gayla Winston, president of the Indiana Family Health Council, a nonprofit that administers about $2 million in Title XX grant funds, said Planned Parenthood is still the top recipient of its grants.

But, she said, instead of funding the Planned Parenthood clinic in Marion, the council and the Indiana State Department of Health decided to award funds to a competitor setting up shop there , Open Door Community Health Center.
