MEDICAL SERVICES
Nearly 84% of our patients have low incomes (below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level) and 75% are Medi-Cal beneficiaries, 46% Latinx, 56% from communities of color, 84% women and nonbinary, 75% between the ages of 18-34, and 12% with primary language diversity. PPNorCal provides health care to individuals who need it most — inclusive of any race, age, gender, insurance, or immigration status. Our success in doing so is a direct result of a dedicated Board of Directors, generous supporters, and our outstanding PPNorCal staff, who continue to provide life-changing care without disruption. PPNorCal’s services are critical to the lives of over 100,000 adults and youth served annually at our 17 health centers, telehealth offerings, and through community programs. Information about our services can be found here: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-northern-california.
COMMUNITY SERVICES & EDUCATION
PPNorCal’s Community Health Department includes Behavioral Health, Case Management, Education, and Community Health Worker Program (CHWP). Recognizing that social determinants of health profoundly affect our patients’ well-being and health outcomes, the goal of the CHWP is to close health care disparities and bridge gaps in access to care. By doing so, this program promotes healthier communities.
Our bilingual Community Health Workers (CHWs) help patients navigate the health system by offering culturally and linguistically appropriate care and counseling, providing health education, and advocating for the communities in which they live and work. By assisting patients with MyChart and public health insurance enrollment, CHWs also remove key barriers in accessing SRH care and enable patients to access their own health information confidentially at their convenience. CHWs also build community partnerships and provide wrap-around services to patients with low incomes.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.

- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
