Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced Thursday, July 30, it would close clinic locations in Livonia, Warren and Lansing, citing cuts to federal funding.
The group said in a statement a $4.2 million decline in patient care reimbursement, coupled with $5.6 million in uncompensated care for the 2026 fiscal year created an unsustainable financial situation.
“For decades, federal family planning funding and reimbursement for patient care helped Planned Parenthood expand access across the state. Republicans in Congress have now demonstrated that they are willing to block Medicaid reimbursement for Planned Parenthood patients, and the Trump administration has proposed eliminating the Title X family planning program altogether," Planned Parenthood of
Michigan President and CEO Paula Thornton Greear said in a statement.
"We cannot build the future of patient care on federal funding that can be stripped away whenever political power changes hands.”
After the most recent closures, Planned Parenthood now has seven clinic locations in Michigan. The group closed health centers in Jackson, Marquette and Petoskey and consolidated its two Ann Arbor locations last year, also citing cuts in federal funding.
Grant funding through the federal Title X program has undergone a shift since President Donald Trump returned to office for a second, non-consecutive term early last year. Title X provides federal funding for family planning for low-income and uninsured individuals, according to KFF, and hundreds of clinics throughout the country rely on the funding.
In May, Planned Parenthood of Michigan asked Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to advocate for a one-time $5 million allocation in state dollars to cover the funding gap. Whitmer's office noted such a spending allocation had to be approved by the state Legislature, where Republicans control the Michigan House. Republicans largely oppose support for groups like Planned Parenthood because of the abortion services some clinics provide to patients.
Whitmer derided Republicans in Congress for not allocating additional federal funding for reproductive health care providers.
"We’ve been clear about this since the passage of the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ last year: these devastating cuts would force key health care providers like Planned Parenthood to close doors and shutter services, cutting Michiganders off from the critical health care they need," she said in a statement.
To ensure continued reproductive care access in Michigan, Thornton Greear said the organization will consolidate resources at regional centers and expand virtual care programs. Planned Parenthood clinics in Detroit and Ferndale are within 20 miles of the Livonia and Warren locations, and many services that were provided at the Lansing location are available through virtual care.
None of the three clinics whose closures were announced Thursday provided abortion services, according to Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
