MARION, Ind. (AP) -- -
Planned Parenthood
of Indiana has decided to close another central Indiana health
clinic as it responses to a loss of some federal funding.
The group says it will close its Marion clinic along with the
closing of clinics in Anderson, Franklin, Kokomo, Shelbyville and
Indianapolis that were announced last month.
The organization is cutting 17 full-time and eight part-time
jobs in the restructuring, leaving it with 28 clinics and about 175
employees in the state.
President and CEO Betty Cockrum says the cuts will save about
$1.3 million.
Planned Parenthood says the six clinics annually serve about
9,000 clients, mostly low-income women. None of the clinics being
closed provide abortions.
