Two Oregon Planned Parenthood Affiliates to Merge Into One Organization
Two Planned Parenthood affiliates serving Oregon will merge into a single organization, Planned Parenthood of Oregon and Southwest Washington, the Oregon Capital Chronicle reported Nov. 11. The boards of the Southwestern Oregon and Columbia Willamette affiliates approved the merger on Nov. 10. The combined organization formally launches on Feb.
14, 2027. All 12 health centers statewide, plus telehealth services, will remain open, the organizations said. Leaders Handler and Kennedy said the merger follows the expiration in July 2026 of a Medicaid funding freeze and is intended to stabilize finances and protect patient access across Oregon.
