Planned Parenthood of Michigan (PPMI) announced Lansing, Livonia, and Warren health centers are permanently closing as part of a network reorganization.
According to the organization the decision was made after a $4.2 million was declined in patient care reimbursement and federal family planning funding from 2025. At the end of 2026, the organization says they will have $5.6 million owed in uncompensated or undercompensated care.

PPMI says they are directly notifying affected patients and connecting them with continued care across its remaining health centers and virtual care network.
“Planned Parenthood built one of the strongest reproductive health care networks in Michigan, but the funding infrastructure that supported that network has fundamentally changed,” said Paula Thornton Greear, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
The organization is again able to bill Medicaid, however according to PPMI billing will not recover a year of lost revenue or eliminate ongoing threats to safety-net health care funding.
The organization says they are now working with counties and state partners across Michigan to build a funding foundation to avoid future cuts from federal politics.
Prior to the decision to close locations PPMI eliminated administrative functions and non-clinical positions, to concentrate resources on direct patient care.
PPMI says they chose the three locations after comprehensive review of its statewide network.
The organization says patients of Livonia and Warren centers are within 20 miles Detroit and Ferndale health centers. Patients of Lansing’s center can have many of the same services provided through PPMI’s virtual care network.
None of the three health centers provided procedural abortion care.
Patients in Michigan can continue to access services through PPMI’s seven remaining health centers, the Virtual Health Center, and the PP Direct app, offering 24/7 access to birth control, medication abortion, emergency contraception, and UTI treatment.
PPMI says they are working directly with impacted staff for transition into open roles within the remaining network.
“The measure of this organization has never been how many buildings we operate, it is whether people can get the care they need when they need it,” Thornton Greear added. “We are making these painful decisions today so that Planned Parenthood of Michigan stays grounded, resilient, and ready to serve the next generation.”
