Reproductive Health Resources

Mission Statement

Reproductive Health Resources (RHR) is a community-based organization located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan working to remove financial barriers to safe, dignified, affordable reproductive healthcare.

What RHR Does

  • Funds and supports reproductive healthcare services provided through local clinical partners in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

  • Ensures medication abortion care on a sliding fee scale for individuals who cannot afford full costs.

  • Provides direct financial support so individuals can access safe and prompt clinical care.

Why RHR Exists

  • Planned Parenthood of Michigan closed its Marquette clinic in 2025.

  • This closure created a 500+ mile care gap across the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin, with no abortion care available from Traverse City to Duluth.

  • Virtual options are offered by Planned Parenthood, but are not always accessible due to limited internet access, financial constraints, and the need for in-person counseling or support. Some people may also need additional testing, like ultrasound or lab work before proceeding.

  • Before closing, Planned Parenthood of Marquette provided 150 in-clinic abortions in 2024—demonstrating the ongoing need for local services.

Impact So Far

  • Since launching in July 2025, RHR has already supported:

    • 20 individuals accessing medical abortion services.

  • Each individual, on average:

    • Uses $170 of RHR support toward a $450 clinical bill.

  • By the end of this year, RHR projects:

    • 50+ people supported with access to safe, affordable abortion care.

Why Your Support Matters

  • RHR is rooted in the Upper Peninsula. We exist because our community deserves safe, affordable, and dignified reproductive healthcare without traveling hundreds of miles.

  • Without RHR, community members in the Upper Peninsula face extreme travel burdens, financial strain, and loss of timely care.

  • Every $170 donation ensures another individual can access safe, dignified abortion care in their own community.

  • RHR has plans for future expansion of programming, to include birth control & long-acting contraceptives, gender-affirming care, sexually-transmitted infection testing, and more.
