Maine Family Planning goes beyond abortion
Maine Family Planning operates 18 clinics across the state.
In 2024, it had about 7,200 family planning patients, plus another 645 who obtained abortions. Services include pregnancy testing, contraception, family planning counseling, breast exams, cancer screenings and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.
Some of the sites also offer primary care services, where there are another 600 or so patients. There are about 800 gender-affirming care patients and about 200 who use its upstart mobile clinic, said George Hill, the president and CEO of the organization.
Hill said that for about two-thirds of its patients, Maine Family Planning is the only place they get medical care in a typical year.
About half of the patients not seeking abortions are enrolled in Medicaid, and the clinics have been receiving about $1.9 million a year in reimbursements, which accounts for about one-fourth of the organization’s budget.
