Lovejoy Surgicenter

Clinic is closed

We made a record request in June 2019 to the Oregon Department of Health. Here is their response:

There are two Planned Parenthood affiliates in Oregon, each having multiple clinics – Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette (PPCW) and Planned Parenthood of Southern Oregon (PPSO). Oregon Health Authority does not license these facilities. There are no new Lovejoy responsive records since the 2017 request submitted. This will complete your request.
