Abstract

Planned Parenthood is an organization that focuses on delivering vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide. The organization offers a variety of different services that focus on sexual health, but due to some of the controversial issues that surround their services, they tend to go unnoticed. Planned Parenthood also offers general health checkups for women and men, and provide resources for individuals in the LGBT community, such as information about sexual orientation, coming out, gender identify, asexuality, and hormone therapy for transgender patients. The organization has a large impact on the communities that it serves, especially in lower socioeconomic communities. However, due to the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood, some have a negative view of the organization and those views can lead to major cuts in funding, as have been demonstrated these past few years. For this project, we conducted a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis of the organization and determined how each of those areas impact the future of Planned Parenthood.
