In this together
Over one hundred years ago, Planned Parenthood was founded on the idea that everyone should have the information and care they need to live strong, healthy lives and fulfill their dreams. Founded 56+ years ago, Planned Parenthood Los Angeles is one of the largest providers of reproductive health care services in Los Angeles County. The Planned Parenthood Los Angeles (PPLA) team works together to provide high-quality, affordable reproductive health care to women, men, and young people across Los Angeles County. At PPLA, you will discover a culture of like-minded individuals who are eager to make positive contributions to their community and to the Planned Parenthood mission.

We hear the words ‘team’ and ‘teamwork’ so often, but at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, it’s so much more than a corporate cliché. It’s a way of life. We embrace a larger scope of ‘we’ that encompasses our whole team, from the top down. This spirit of belonging is a reflection of the passion we all share for the organization’s mission. We work hard, but with this level of support and teamwork, it’s easy to love what we do.

I’ve been a nurse practitioner for 13 years and I’ve been at PPLA for three and a half years. I love my job and I love the collaborative environment. Working with other NPs and PAs, exchanging experiences and learning together is one of the things I enjoy most. PPLA truly cares about their employees and I feel confident that our voices are heard. This organization constantly works on improving itself and I highly recommend working here both for newly licensed and experienced professionals.

At PPLA, I get to work with great co-workers every day and I believe in the care that we give our patients. If PPLA wasn’t here, so many of our patients would not receive the health care they deserve. I am constantly rewarded by seeing the difference I make for the patients we care for. I have been able to grow as a clinician and continue to broaden my skills and knowledge with PPLA.
