NFPRHA believes that efforts to improved access and quality of care can only be achieved by recognizing and responding to systemic racism and all forms of oppression, including the unequal distribution of resources, which have created persistent health disparities.
Accompanying the resource guide is an assessment tool that can support family planning providers as they conduct community needs assessments, program design and data collection, and seek to strengthen partnerships between the family planning network and collaborative organizations in their communities. NFPRHA recognizes that patients’ health care experiences vary over time and by provider and improving access and quality can be addressed at multiple levels. Each agency should decide where and how to focus. Involving and taking the lead from the experience, perspective, interests, and needs of community members is essential to all efforts related to improving access and quality of sexual and reproductive health.
