About MCC
Our Mission
The Male Central Clinic believes in the importance of parenting and in building strong families. We believe parenthood should not be a mistake, entered into without a caring and committed spouse, without education, without economic security, or emotional maturity. Our mission is to ensure that all members of our community have access to affordable family planning education and medical services so that every child is born wanted and loved.

Planned Parenthood of South Texas
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
For 80 years, Planned Parenthood has been America's foremost reproductive health care organization.
Many people know Planned Parenthood as an advocate for family planning, sex education, and reproductive choice. Advocacy is very much a part of our legacy, dating back to the days when our founder Margaret Sanger, opposed Anthony Comstock and other who sought to control women through unfair laws. The advocacy role of Planned Parenthood --- and its fundamental goal of ensuring that women have the freedom and the means to decide when and whether to have children --- are as critical and relevant as ever.
But Planned Parenthood is more than a voice; it is America's most trusted name in women's health. We are 152 affiliates operating more than 900 health centers in communities large and small across the country.
