The Challenge

Low-income women face higher unintended pregnancy rates and reduced access to care. Programs like Title X, serving low-income and women of color, reach just four million women annually, with 41% served by Planned Parenthood centers. They also lack access to high-quality healthcare services and culturally-competent providers. Health plans, eager to improve outcomes for this demographic, encounter engagement challenges, including determining pregnancies late in gestation or when women present at emergency rooms.
