🩺 Planned Parenthood closes one Memphis clinic One of Memphis’ Planned Parenthood locations — the one off Virginia Run Cove — is closing its doors after a federal court upheld a law blocking Medicaid (TennCare) patients from using their insurance there. The law, passed under the Trump administration, restricts any reproductive care provider that receives over $800K in Medicaid funding and offers abortion services — even though Tennessee banned abortions back in 2022. For now, the Poplar Avenue clinic will remain open, and services like cancer screenings, birth control, and primary care will continue for non-Medicaid patients. This affects hundreds of Memphis women and families who relied on the clinic for basic healthcare — especially in low-income areas.
