Dear Friends,
With your backing, this year has seen Planned Parenthood Los Angeles take off and soar. From building our base,
to training our expert team, to mapping our future, we’ve reached new heights. In this report, it is my pleasure to
share with you not only what we’ve done, but also where we’re heading.
To begin with, our site expansions are moving forward with gusto. Our East LA health center on Whittier Boulevard
opened in October, we have a brand new site just south of downtown, our first “express” center in Lakewood will
open in 2009…and we won’t stop there! We’re letting people across Los Angeles know: Planned Parenthood is here
for you.
Our brand new headquarters, The Bixby Center for Reproductive Health, guides our vital expansion effort by
bringing our administrative staff together under one roof at last. It also houses our state-of-the-art medical training
facility, the S. Mark Taper Foundation Center for Medical Training. There, our nationally recognized clinical team
will train the best and the brightest to become the future generation of reproductive health care professionals.
We’ll continue to ensure that no matter how our opponents try to divert our resources, the women (and men!) of
America will receive the high-quality health care that is rightfully theirs.
Over the past two years, our achievements have been propelled by the energy and leadership of board chair Russ
Meyer, who stepped down as of June 2008. His powerful convictions, enthusiastic engagement and increased
financial support have galvanized board members and donors to follow his example. Russ has left us strengthened
and renewed, and we’ll continue to be in the utmost of capable hands with his successor, Allan Mutchnik. Allan
has brought his considerable talents to our agency for nearly a decade, both as a board member and as a partner
with the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP and Affiliates. Allan’s firm has provided us with
invaluable pro bono legal services, and continues to do so.
Finally, as many of you may know, 2009 will be my last year as President & CEO. I’m thrilled to have had the
opportunity to help build the strong foundation that will carry this agency forward, and to realize the first few
of many accomplishments to come. It is our tireless staff, along with the support and guidance of our Board,
volunteers, donors and activists, that makes such an enormous difference to our community, and I know that you
will all continue to awe, inspire and uplift the people of Los Angeles.
Sincerely,
trust confiamos

In Collaboration:
Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Initiative
Unintended pregnancy and childbirth is the leading
reason that young women drop out of high school.
In response, Planned Parenthood Los Angeles has
launched a major initiative to develop and test a
comprehensive sex education program for schools in
Los Angeles County, working with Los Angeles Unified
School District and other area schools, and with help
from RAND Corporation, the University of California
at Los Angeles and the Public Health Institute of
California. So far, we’ve found overwhelming support
for comprehensive sex education. We look forward
to building a program that is realistic, affordable and
sustainable, and will help lower the rate of unintended
teen pregnancies.

Planned Parenthood has helped me to become more
aware of what I want to accomplish in life. By providing
birth control methods, I have a better chance of
succeeding in my career. —Client, La Puente
External Affairs
To know us is to love us, and nothing proves this better
than our leading-edge initiatives in External Affairs.
We Are Special:
Los Angeles led the way for research into perceptions
of Planned Parenthood with a special emphasis on
African-American and Latino communities. The results
are excellent: Planned Parenthood has high favorability
ratings across all segments of LA County and higher
approval rates than almost any other organization.
Our radio ads tell the stories of our clients—the kinds of stories that we at Planned
Parenthood hear every day.
In one, a young woman declares: “Mistakes happen and I was way too embarrassed
to see my regular doctor about my HPV. Planned Parenthood gave me a cancer
screening and tested, treated and gave me the information I needed to stay healthy
AND safe in the future.”
In another ad, a father says: “I’m a single dad of a beautiful 15-year-old girl…it’s really
hard for me to talk about sex and protection. I know it’s my responsibility but I need
help. Luckily, I took her to Planned Parenthood and a counselor talked to both of us
and gave us information on birth control, safe sex and even abstinence.”
