for general operating support
The National Abortion Federation, the professional organization of abortion providers in the United States, provides educational programs for health care professionals, including continuing medical education, clinical policy guidelines, and training sites for medical residents. Over the next two years, the Federation will focus on expanding the pool of abortion providers. It will also continue its quality-assessment program, which evaluates member facilities for compliance with rigorous standards for abortion care services. The Federation will also produce accurate scientific information about abortion and the experiences of abortion patients to demonstrate the real-life impact of restrictions on abortion access. Other Hewlett Foundation grantees report that these patient stories are essential to their pro-choice advocacy.
