About PLAN
PLAN (The Pregnancy and Life Assistance Network) facilitates collaboration between assistance programs and their communities in order to empower women and families through comprehensive medical, social, and material support.
Our Objectives
Objective 1
Connecting and Aiding Assistance Programs
We will help assistance programs connect and collaborate to aid in fulfilling their mission to serve women and families. These connections are the core of PLAN and informs all of what we do.
Objective 2
Connecting and Engaging the Community
We want communities to know where to find help for themselves and others, and to actively engage in organizations that serve women and families.
Objective 3
Developing Strategies to Fill Service Gaps
By developing comprehensive lists of services, we will identify underserved geographic regions and categories of care that are currently unavailable. With this clear understanding of need, the entire network can work together to fill those gaps.
