Leveraging over four decades of experience in administering the Title X Family Planning Services Program for the 5-county Southeastern region of Pennsylvania (SEPA), AccessMatters has framed a 3-year strategic vision that focuses resources on those in greatest need of Title X?s unique protections and services. This plan embraces opportunities that will expand AccessMatters? Family Planning Network and increase client utilization of services in the SEPA region. AccessMatters will continue to work efficiently and effectively with the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) to demonstrate the tremendous impact and value of the national Title X program in reaching at-risk populations in SEPA. AccessMatters? Network of 20 sub-recipients delivers family planning and related preventive health services at 73 service sites, reaching over 102,000 low-income individuals annually throughout SEPA. By 2022, AccessMatters expects to increase the number of clients served by 6% (2% annually) to 108,397 individuals, and to add up to 5 new sub-recipients to expand the reach of the Network even further in currently underserved areas. Additionally, AccessMatters intends to work with agencies to provide Patient Navigation services, linking individuals in need of family planning services to our Network. Based on a comprehensive needs assessment of factors contributing to family planning related health disparities across its service area, AccessMatters will implement a complement of strategies over the next 3 years that result in increased utilization of family planning services. The Project Work Plan seeks to create a seamless integration of clinical, school, and community-based initiatives that link strategically with partners in many service systems (i.e. primary care; maternal and child health providers; social service agencies, including community-based and faith based entities; correctional facilities; etc.) that touch the lives of family planning clients ? all w ith the goal of increasing the ease and effectiveness with which individuals can obtain family planning services in the context of optimal mental, physical and social well-being. Given its experience, forward looking leadership, and longstanding commitment to Title X?s vision, AccessMatters is confident it can accomplish the goals set forth in its Project Work Plan in compliance with OPA standards and in service to Title X?s mission.
