Planned Parenthood has closed three health centers in Michigan, including two in the metro Detroit area and one in Lansing. The closures, announced on Thursday, took effect immediately and have left thousands of patients searching for alternative care. The decision to close the centers was attributed to federal funding cuts and lost reimbursements.

Planned Parenthood of Michigan is working to ensure continuity of care for affected patients, with some being directed to centers in Detroit and Ferndale. Further details on the closures and the impact on patients are available from Planned Parenthood of Michigan, which has stated that continuity of care remains its top concern.
