Regionally Speaking: Planned Parenthood launches vasectomy services in Hammond

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK)

New data shows an increase in the number of men in NWI getting vasectomies as the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Indiana’s near total ban on abortions went into effect September 15, 2022. Late late week, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK) launched vasectomy services at the Hammond Health Center. Lakeshore Public Radio hosts Dee Dotson and Tom Maloney speak with Rebecca Gibron, CEO for PGNHAIK about the organization's plans to further expand vasectomy services in three additional locations throughout the state in 2023.

PPGNHAIK is now accepting patients for vasectomy services in Hammond, IN. To make an appointment for a consultation call 1-800-769-0045 or visit our website.
