Desert Star Institute for Family Planning, Inc Our Mission:

To create equitable access to reproductive health care for womb bearing people while centering Black and Indigenous People of Color.

The Mission of Desert Star Institute for Family Planning, Inc is to create equitable access to reproductive and sexual health care while centering Black and Indigenous people of color. Our Vision:

Access to the full range of just, dignified, and exceptional reproductive health care is available to people who can become pregnant regardless of circumstance or zip code and is provided by compassiona

te health care professionals who also advocate for reproductive health and justice in their communities. Our Priorities:

Train the next generation of abortion providers within a framework that focuses on the whole person and provides a unique understanding of the barriers historically marginalized people may encounter in medical communities where they've felt excluded. Deliver educational content and programs that help people from historically marginalized communities access reproductive health care and exercise autonomy over their bodies and lives. Engage, build relationships, and mobilize local policy makers, advocates, and community members directly impacted by harmful policies toward an Arizona that provides the conditions for people to freely decide when and how to form families and raise children.

Early giving for is officially open, and you can be the first to make an impact. ✨

August 28 marks pivotal moments in Black history, from Jackie Robinson’s path to breaking baseball’s color barrier, to resilience in the face of Hurricane Katrina, to honoring the legacy of Chadwick Boseman.

As we celebrate Black Philanthropy Month, we recognize that Black communities continue to face disproportionate economic and social inequities. That’s why supporting Black-led organizations has never been more important.

At Desert Star Institute, we are committed to creating equitable access to reproductive and sexual healthcare while centering Black and Indigenous communities of color. Every donation helps us continue this critical work and expand our impact.

💜 Join the movement. Give early. Give boldly. Give for community.

✨🤌🏾 And… Another One!

Another empowered and capable provider trained on abortion care and compassionate health care through a Reproductive Justice lens coming out of our Health Justice Clinic! 👏🏾💜

Dr. Huckleberry finished her rotation with us last Friday! Over the past two weeks, Dr. Huckleberry’s warmth, curiosity, and dedication enriched every aspect of her experience with our team. She approached each patient encounter with empathy and respect, fostering trust and delivering compassionate care. As an Emergency Medicine physician participating in the Next Generation of Abortion Providers Program (NGAPP), she demonstrated a deep commitment to equitable reproductive healthcare and to supporting the diverse communities we are privileged to serve. ✨🌵🩺

The NGAPP is at the heart of why Desert Star Institute for Family Planning was founded 9 years ago.

Before the overturn of Roe v. Wade, abortion training opportunities were already disappearing across the country—and we answered the call to train. 💪🏾 Dr. Blum is part of a growing cohort of future providers committed to equitable, compassionate reproductive healthcare. She’s the 6th of 12 trainees coming in to train with us for a total of 42 weeks of training for 2026 and we are booked into December of 2027.

We advocate, we train, and we provide…because Reproductive Justice is for Everybody 💖💯

For too long, conversations about reproductive freedom have centered on the abstract concept of "choice" without addressing whether people actually have the resources, healthcare access, insurance coverage, safety, and support they need to make and act on those decisions.

It's time to move beyond the politics of choice and toward Reproductive Justice.

Join us for the next installment of our free virtual education series: Beyond Choice: Meeting the Moment with Reproductive Justice. Together, we'll challenge outdated narratives, deepen our understanding, and explore how to build a future rooted in Reproductive Justice.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Bea at Peace Abortion Doulas for the care packages they’ve lovingly created for our abortion care patients.

Every package is a reminder that our patients are supported, valued, and cared for by their community. Thank you for helping bring moments of joy and comfort while supporting our mission to provide just, dignified, and excellent abortion care to BIPOC communities throughout Arizona. We couldn’t do this work without community support like yours. 💜
