History of the Reproductive Health Meeting

The powerful partnership behind this meeting is one of the key reasons that Reproductive Health is such a successful and popular conference. Planned Parenthood® Federation of America (PPFA) and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP) have hosted annual meetings together since the early 1960’s. In 1999, the PPFA National Medical Committee (NMC) and ARHP held their first joint conference in Dallas, Texas. The partnership proved to be a great fit, and the NMC has coordinated with the Reproductive Health meeting for a decade now.

The Society of Family Planning (SFP) was established in 2004 and joined the Reproductive Health partnership the following year. SFP brings a unique expertise in reproductive health research and scholarship to the partnership. Reproductive Health 2009 is the fifth annual meeting co-hosted by these three venerable organizations.
