Tennessee

4 PP Locations

1 is currently closed in Knoxville, but they have a mobile unit there

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 centers are current up to February 9, 2024; check PP’s Tennessee page for updates on openings or closures. 

See the Community Health Center Fact Sheet for Tennessee. 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

Patients who feel a need to file a complaint: Filing a Complaint Against a Tennessee Health Care Facility or Provider
