Last August, Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital affiliated with St. Joseph Health System. At the time, the public (and the medical staff at Hoag) were told that nothing would change with regards to services provided at the hospitals.

However, last month Hoag Hospital announced that it would stop all “direct” abortion services at its hospitals. OB-GYN doctors, who were not consulted before the decision was made, have voiced their disappointment in learning that Hoag will no longer offer women comprehensive reproductive healthcare services. The doctors also refute claims made by Hoag as to their rationale behind the decision. Click here to read an open letter from the doctors.

NWPC OC is joining with other women’s organizations around Orange County on Thursday, June 20 at 5:00 PM outside Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach to insist that the hospital reinstate comprehensive reproductive healthcare services at its hospitals. Mark your calendars and plan to join us. And if you’d like to help make signs for the rally, click here.

We hope you can join us.
