Planned Parenthood of Michigan Closes 3 Centers After $4.2 Million Funding Drop

Summary
Three Michigan health centers in Lansing, Livonia and Warren will close permanently after Planned Parenthood of Michigan said federal funding cuts and Medicaid reimbursement restrictions made them unsustainable.
A $4.2 million decline in patient-care reimbursements and family-planning grants, plus $5.6 million in uncompensated or undercompensated care, drove the decision after earlier administrative job cuts.
None of the three sites performed procedural abortions; the affiliate said it will shift care to regional hubs and expand virtual services to preserve access statewide.
The squeeze follows federal legislation signed last year barring Medicaid reimbursements to abortion providers above an $800,000 threshold, while the Trump administration has also proposed ending Title X.
In February, Planned Parenthood dropped its lawsuit over the Medicaid restriction, leaving Michigan's closures as part of a broader funding strain facing reproductive-health providers across the Midwest.
