Planned Parenthood expands Mankato clinic as Iowa ban drives demand
Misty Parrow of Planned Parenthood North Central States outlines growth across five states as the Mankato clinic increases weekly patients from eight to about 15 and aims for 22 to 25. The system hires 25 to 30 staff, shifts focus to preventive care in Iowa, and routes medication abortions across state lines. Patients face travel, finance, and time barriers, with many Iowa residents seeking care earlier and out-of-state options.
