(WCJB) - Patients received an unexpected notification on their portal Wednesday afternoon from Planned Parenthood - Gainesville Health Center.The Gainesville location will be closing down on June 26. According to the message, patients may receive medical services and obtain records until then.According to the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Florida, Alexandra Mandado, this was a difficult decision.“An ongoing effort to align our health centers with patient needs and changes in patient volume across the communities we serve,” said Mandado.This is not the first Planned Parenthood to close down in Florida this year. Two months ago, Lakeland had to shutdown their location as well. Vice President of Communications Michelle Quesada says the circumstances were different.“Like many Planned Parenthoods across the country,” said Quesada, “after the ‘Defund’ provision that blocks Planned Parenthood health centers from accepting Medicaid went into effect, Planned Parenthood of Florida worked to ensure continuity of care for patients using Medicaid by providing care for urgent visits and completing ongoing treatment plans at no cost.”Despite these efforts, the location was closed down early March. After the Gainesville location closes, 14 Planned Parenthoods remain in Florida.President Mandado encourages patients to seek care at nearby locations after the closing. The closest Planned Parenthood to Gainesville is 79 miles away, in Jacksonville.</div></body>
