Champaign, IL (WAND) – Planned Parenthood of Champaign has expanded its facilities for in-hospital abortion patients.
“This facility was completed just a few months ago. A complete renovation of the first floor. There was nothing here before, so it’s a completely newly renovated space.”
In today’s press conference and tour, Jennifer Welch, CEO and President of Planned Parenthood in Illinois, explained how the facility will expand to 5,000 square feet and provide care to patients in the area.

During a tour of the new ultrasound room, lab and recovery room for future patients, Fetters explained how this expansion will help.
“It benefits everyone. It benefits the community, it benefits not just the people who are here for these services. staff, and more staff with more experience,” said Fetters.
