Job description

The Organization

Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) is one of the region's most respected and mission-driven health care organizations, serving communities across Connecticut and Rhode Island through a broad network of health centers and virtual care services. As part of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), PPSNE is committed to advancing reproductive freedom, expanding access to high-quality health care, and ensuring health equity for all people.

PPSNE provides comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care services to more than 60,000 patients annually through 15 health centers and a virtual health center that serves patients across Connecticut and Rhode Island. The organization is recognized for delivering patient-centered, evidence-based care, being a leading provider of sexual and reproductive health education, and as a trusted advocate for reproductive freedom. 
PPSNE's services include family planning, abortion care, primary care, gender-affirming care, HIV prevention and screening, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, contraception, wellness care, and community-based health education. Through an unwavering commitment to dignity, belonging, and equity, PPSNE works to reduce disparities in health outcomes and remove barriers to care for historically underserved communities.
PPSNE operates in a rapidly evolving health care and political environment in which reproductive health access has become increasingly critical. The organization has continued to strengthen its regional impact through operational innovation, telehealth expansion, strategic partnerships, community engagement, and investment in patient-centered clinical services.

History and Mission
Planned Parenthood has played a foundational role in advancing reproductive health and reproductive rights in the United States for more than a century. PPSNE brings that mission directly to communities throughout Southern New England, building a legacy of trusted care, advocacy, and education.

Throughout its history, PPSNE has expanded both its geographic reach and the breadth of services offered to patients, evolving from a traditional reproductive health provider into a comprehensive health care organization focused on whole-person care and equitable access. The organization has remained steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that all individuals - regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, or geography - have access to compassionate, affordable, and high-quality care.

The organization's mission is grounded in the belief that health care is a human right and that every person deserves the ability to make informed decisions about their body, health, and future.
Organizational Culture and Values

PPSNE fosters a collaborative, values-driven culture grounded in its "In This Together" framework, which reflects a shared commitment to supporting one another, advancing equity, and delivering high-quality care. This culture is defined by a set of core workplace values that guide how employees engage with one another, patients, and the broader community:

We Tend to the Team: fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, and shared accountability 
We Respect and Honor All People: centering diversity, belonging, and inclusion in all interactions 
We Jump In: working collaboratively and proactively to meet organizational and patient needs 
We Try and We Learn: embracing continuous learning, reflection, and improvement 
We Care for Our Business: ensuring responsible stewardship, operational excellence, and sustainability 
We Return to Our Mission: remaining grounded in purpose and a commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care

Together, these values create a culture grounded in equity, accountability, continuous improvement, and a strong commitment to patients and community.

Performance and Strategic Priorities
PPSNE is widely recognized as a leading provider of reproductive and sexual health care in the region.
