Four affiliates merge to further the mission — March 1, 1987

Planned Parenthood of North East Pennsylvania (PPNEP) was created March 1, 1987, through the merger of four existing Planned Parenthood affiliates:

• Planned Parenthood of Berks County
  
• Planned Parenthood of the Lehigh Valley (the product of a merger of affiliates in Northampton and Lehigh Counties in 1983)
  
• Monroe County Planned Parenthood Association, and
  
• Planned Parenthood of Northeastern Pennsylvania (the product of a merger of affiliates serving Lackawanna, Wyoming and Luzerne Counties in 1985)

We benefit the community:

• Providing medical services to over 20,000 patients annually at our eight health centers
  
• Providing education programs throughout the affiliate
  
• Providing public advocacy throughout the affiliate

We cover a lot of ground:

• Nine counties, spanning more than 5,000 square miles
  
• Four congressional districts
  
• 31 state representative districts
  
• Nine state senate districts
  
• Nine county governments
  
• Hundreds of city, township and borough governments
  
• Over 70 public school districts

Our hard work pays off:

PPNEP received outstanding, 100% ratings during each of its reaccredidation reviews by Planned Parenthood Federation of America (conducted once every four years).
