April 2025
Jackson, MS. –
Every day that there is delay in Title X funding is a day that patients across Mississippi and Tennessee go without care. This will create a cascading effect across the South, disrupting access to basic health care services such as cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, infertility care and more.
These disruptions will lead to increased negative health outcomes, including higher rates of unintended pregnancy and STIs. To ensure that providers can continue to meet the health care needs of people in Mississippi and Tennessee, we will comply with the requests outlined by HHS and demonstrate our adherence to this administration’s orders. People’s lives depend on it.
We look forward to a prompt response.
