Care. For Every Tennessean.
Our Middle Tennessee story began in 1964 with the founding of the Planned Parenthood Association of Nashville. Nashville’s affiliate became Planned Parenthood of Middle Tennessee in 1993, and by 2000, the Middle and East Tennessee affiliates merged to form Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee.
In 2018, PPMET united with Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region to become one statewide organization – Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi – extending services across all of Tennessee, as well as 22 counties in northern Mississippi.
PPTNM’s story in Middle and East Tennessee is one of steady growth and uniting for a stronger impact. Together, these mergers created a stronger, more connected organization ready to serve even more communities with compassionate, accessible care.
Heavy appetizers, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
Dress code is business or smart casual which can include sports jackets, khakis, collared shirts, colorful blouses, dresses, or dressy separates.
