Due to the Federal government’s defunding of Planned Parenthood, the entire primary care department at Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties was shut down. This has resulted in over 100 employees being laid off and the discharge of 13,000 patients in Orange and San Bernardino Counties alone. As three of these primary care doctors, we are devastated yet dedicated to creating an even better model to serve our communities.

We envision building an inclusive, patient-centered, trauma-informed, and sex-positive practice, where patients feel heard, understood, and validated. We reject the corporate model of medicine that puts profit before patients, and instead embrace a simple monthly membership that supports extended visits, transparency, and enduring patient-physician trust. We proudly serve communities that have historically faced discrimination and hardship, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrants, and uninsured and underinsured people. From chronic disease to all reproductive health needs, including abortion, we are excited to serve our community.

Funds raised will go directly toward securing a location, purchasing medical equipment, staffing, electronic medical record systems, malpractice insurance, and patient communication software. Your support will help us build a space that truly provides relationship-centered, accessible primary care for all. Please donate to our cause and help us bring this vision to life. In solidarity, The Team at Open Arms Primary Care.
