Planned Parenthood location closes after failing to hire nurse practitioner
The Planned Parenthood Regina facility in Canada (PPR) has closed after failing to secure a full-time nurse practitioner. The facility appears to have committed chemical abortions.
Planned Parenthood Regina has closed its doors temporarily as it has struggled for three years to hire a full time nurse practitioner.
The facility receives government funding to operate and supplied the abortion pill to women.
It recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and used it as an opportunity to raise money and find monthly donors so that it has money to "use as we see fit."
The facility, which sold the abortion pill, shut down because it could not find a full-time nurse practitioner. Despite the abortion corporation's claims that a lack of government funding has lead to its staffing shortages, PPR is funded by the government.
“Planned Parenthood Regina currently receives funding from the Ministry of Health for a variety of services related to sexual health. The ministry is aware of a temporary disruption to some of these services while PPR recruits a full-time nurse practitioner,” said the Ministry of Health in statement to CTV News.
“PPR has advised the ministry that it is continuing to provide healthcare navigation and other services that do not require the professional scope of a nurse practitioner.”
Despite receiving that funding from the Government of Saskatchewan, PPR has not been able to recruit a full-time nurse practitioner for over three years. Instead, it has had two part-time nurse practitioners.
“That worked for a bit, but we found that the nurse practitioners were not comfortable using their license that way. Everyone has come to the agreement, from the nursing staff to the nurse practitioners to the admin, is that we need a full- time nurse practitioner,” said PPR board chair Brit Sippola-Kotylak.
“Part of that reason is continuity of care, having the same person in the clinic five days a week would be incredible for people who need to do testing that’s over multiple days or [for] follow up appointments, stuff like that. It would be really great if we could get a full-time nurse practitioner to take on running this clinic and offering services again.”
The Ministry of Health has said it plans to expand its program to train and recruit nurse practitioners. PPR, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this month, held a fundraiser to support board training and hiring costs.
“We are very lucky because we get funded by the provincial government and we have some pretty solid funding, but it’s tough because that covers a lot of the clinical services and some of the stuff like, the roof over our heads, utilities, admin salaries,” explained Sippola-Kotylak.
“Then board training and stuff like that comes out of donations. We’re really hoping to build up our monthly donor base because that is money that we can use as we see fit.”
Planned Parenthood locations have struggled to keep staff amid malpractice lawsuits, complaints of racism, and a lack of interest from OB/Gyns to commit abortions. However, Planned Parenthood historically blames a lack of funding for its string of closures across the U.S.
