1 Planned Parenthood Location
The purpose of these listings is for local activists to help people find alternative places to PP, not just for pregnancy, but for STD testing and treatment and other medical services that PP provides. See our home page.
PP locations are current up to February 23, 2024; check PP’s Rhode Island page for updates on openings or closures.
We list Community Health Centers, Rural Health Clinics, and other possible alternatives. These were found through web research, with occasional additions from local activists. Unless noted, they still need to be vetted by local activists as to quality and suitability. Here are action suggestions if they’re suitable or if they need improvement. See the Community Health Center Fact Sheet for Rhode Island.
Patients who feel a need to file a complaint: Rhode Island Department of Health – Complaints

Caution: unlike CHCs and Rural Health Clinics, which by definition don’t do abortions, teaching hospitals associated with medical schools may be abortion providers. But since most don’t do abortions, we add listings because they often offer excellent services to low-income people. Local activists researching PP alternatives can find out if they’re suitable.
