The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services is investing $4 million in Medicaid family planning programming in order to counteract the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood in Trump’s budget bill.
The funding will go towards critical services that many Illinoisans rely on, like contraception, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and cancer screenings.
Planned Parenthood provided services for nearly 35,000 Illinois Medicaid customers across the state in 2024.
