Planned Parenthood preventive care services

Breast cancer survivor from SMITH & JONES on Vimeo.

This web video is part of a campaign for Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood that demonstrates all of the services the organization offers outside of family planning and STI screening.

This video features patient Colleen Luther, who found a lump in her breast when she was 27. At the time, she had no health insurance because she was recently laid off, and in result her primary care physician could not see her. She remembered that Planned Parenthood offered a sliding fee scale, and turned to her local branch for a breast exam.

Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood watched the lump and helped her eliminate other possible causes. Because of their care, she was able to find her cancer early enough to be cured.
