Seeking Patient Care?
Our triad mission is to provide timely, compassionate, and evidence-based reproductive healthcare; train and inspire the next generation of providers and advocates; and conduct collaborative and relevant research, locally and globally, to advance family planning. We always advocate for our patients – with regard to complex family planning, pregnancy loss, and abortion care – by supporting an individual’s access to necessary healthcare services allowed by the laws of the State of Florida.The Society for Family Planning, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Medical Association have stated that all people should have timely access to the full spectrum of comprehensive, evidence-based healthcare – including contraception and abortion. The University of Miami is committed to providing and protecting the availability of high-quality reproductive health services and affording patients the privacy, dignity, respect, and support they deserve in a supportive environment.
