Planned Parenthood Finally Returns to Oakland After Long Hiatus
For the last two years, Oakland has been without its own Planned Parenthood, which meant patients had to trek to Walnut Creek, El Cerrito, or San Francisco in order to receive care. But trek no more — Planned Parenthood has opened its doors in Oakland again.

And, like all Planned Parenthood locations, this one will serve patients with and without insurance coverage.
