WWHA Growth & Acquisition Project Manager

Organization

Whole Woman’s Health Alliance (WWHA) is a 501(c)3 organization that intentionally seeks to open clinics in areas of the country which are most impacted by anti-abortion legislation. Whole Woman’s Health Alliance provides abortion care that puts patients first. We stand in the light to revolutionize the conversation around abortion in this country.

Independent abortion providers like Whole Woman's Health Alliance provide over 60% of abortions in the United States and intentionally operate in areas of the country that have the most onerous regulations. We do this because we believe safe, affordable, quality abortion care should be accessible to all, regardless of their zip code.

Whole Woman’s Health Alliance works in a coordinated strategy with the Stigma Relied Fund and Whole Woman’s Health. For more information, please visit www.shiftstigma.org and www.wholewomanshealth.com.
