Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood will hold a press conference to announce its Expanding Access* Meeting Needs Capital Campaign to finance a new, expanded Albany health center.

"After over forty years on Lark Street, the increased demand for our services-and the changing nature of health care delivery-has rendered our current building obsolete. We have taken our case to the community and will join with our campaign leadership on Wednesday to announce the very generous gifts already committed toward this necessary and exciting move. It is time to share with the larger community our campaign for Expanding Access* Meeting Needs and to seek the public's participation and support in opening a Planned Parenthood center that exemplifies our mission of exceptional medical services, honest education and fearless advocacy." Patricia McGeown, President/CEO of Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood
