New Metro East call center will help people across the country get abortions
FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS — Two abortion providers in the Metro East launched a new logistics center on Friday designed to help broaden access both locally and nationally.
The call center in Planned Parenthood’s Fairview Heights clinic will help arrange travel logistics and connect patients with resources, like money, and other support organizations in all 50 states, said Yamelsie Rodríguez, president of Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region.
“[It’s] a case management center that helps solve the growing layers of logistical barriers patients face when seeking an abortion,” she said. “This is a new navigation tool in response to a growing demand.”
It will be operated by Planned Parenthood and the Hope Clinic for Women, which is located in Granite City.
