Funds raised for the acquisition provided infrastructure support to keep essential services available to the communities it had been serving for a decade. 56928 30750 725 Next Generation Abortion Providers Program trains medical students, residents, and attending physicians in reproductive health care with an emphasis on abortion training. Clinical instruction includes abortion, contraception, early pregnancy loss, other common women's health conditions, and care of transgender adults. To date, people from 21 states and 3 regions of Canada have traveled to Phoenix to be trained. We apply a reproductive justice lens to our work, so trainees have and experience very different from their traditional clinical rotations. We believe that learning about abortion in an environment where abortion occurs alongside general well-woman care increases student awareness and understanding that abortion is health care. In turn, they are inspired to advocate for women's reproductive healthcare access and delivery, and are empowered to become advocates within their own communities. 2 - 4 week rotations can be scheduled at the Desert Star Health Justice Clinic. We are a preferred site for the Medical Students for Choice Reproductive Health Externship Program and now have partnerships with several additional organizations as referral sources for training. 5 people were trained over 16 total training weeks in 2024. Impacted by the political landscape and looming 1864 total abortion ban that was ultimately repealed, we paused our training program as we awaited how the litigation and additional efforts by the attorney general would impact our ability to provide abortion services, and thereby train. Two trainee institutions canceled rotations for their learners during that time. 45000 45000 0 Doulas 4 Change continuing education program for Black Doulas completed it's inaugural training cohort in the spring of 2024. The program mission is to educate, organize, and build leadership and power among Black birthers, birthworkers and their communities to influence policies and practices that decrease Black maternal mortality and morbidity in Arizona and support pregnant people's self determination in whatever pregnancy outcome they choose. Our goal in creating a doula-promotora model is to strengthen the skills of these needed community health workers to advocate for the communities they serve. Six doulas completed the pilot program that began January 2024 and ended in May 2024. The data indicates that increased access to community-based doula care can help improve birth outcomes and reduce the higher rates of maternal morbidity and mortality among women of color in the United States, and more specifically Arizona. Empowering Black doulas with advocacy tools, peer support, policy education, and reproductive justice framework will prepare them to support families in a way they have not been trained for before. By understanding the intersectionality of what affects the lives of Black families, how to respond to crisis under trauma informed care, and providing quality support and resources to families and each other, Black doulas are perfectly positioned to advance birth justice. 32434 30000 514874 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 8 true false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false true false false AZ X DeShawn Taylor 4804486753 5501 N 19th Ave Ste 420 Phoenix AZ 85015 Stacey Stewart Chairperson, Board of Directors 1.00 X 0 0 0 DeShawn Taylor President and CEO 40.00 X 150176 0 0 Rachel Beam Treasurer, Board of Directors 1.00 X 0 0 0 Enjolie Lafaurie Director At Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Smith Secretary, Board of Directors 1.00 X 0 0 0 Evan Masingill Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Reed Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 May Tiwamangkala Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harlie Jackson Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 150176 0 0 1 false true false 0 0 0 43035 0 0 340199 0 383234 Clinical Services 621000 190965 190965 0 0 Training Program Administrative Fees 561110 725 725 0 0 191690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43035 21100 -21100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 553824 191690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 150176 120140 15018 15018 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27391 21913 2739 2739 0 0 0 444 0 444 18045 0 18045 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 750 750 0 196806 142803 36246 17757 125040 8439 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 89847 89847 89847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 214887 98286 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39847 33266 0 0 39847 33266 X 152340 57322 22700 7698 0 0 0 0 0 0 175040 65020 214887 98286 -110020 0 0 0 0 0 X true X false false false X 0 2 120000 0 39052 93967 169774 197053 383234 883080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39052 93967 169774 197053 383234 883080 0 883080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3150 6575 1327 600 725 12377 895457 190065 0.98620 0.97200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Gala 41605 33293 8312 0 0 2000 7090 350 11660 0 0 41605 33293 8312 0 0 2000 7090 350 11660 21100 -12788 X false false false false false false false false false DeShawn Taylor CE0 147757 0 0 0 2419 150176 0 Part III, Line 2 Desert Star Institute for Family Planning acquired the Phoenix, AZ independent abortion clinic, Desert Star Family Planning, LLC.
