If Ogden were to begin providing abortion services, it would be the fifth clinic in the state to do so, and only the second outside of the Salt Lake Valley.
The organization moved from its last location just outside McKay-Dee Hospital and within walking distance of Weber State University a couple of weeks ago, and began serving patients at its new spot within 48 hours, the organization said.
Sarah McClellan, right, a former board member and long time advocate for Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, with a long legacy in public service, speaks during a celebration for the opening of the new clinic in Ogden, recently moved to a bigger space, on Wednesday, July 12, 2023. The waiting room was named in her honor as Kathryn Boyd, new CEO of the Utah chapter, left, and Annabel Sheinberg join the packed room.
Planned Parenthood named the waiting room for McClellan, who has become a well-known advocate for marginalized communities and progressive causes — including Planned Parenthood. “I will always, as long as I have breath in my body, support Planned Parenthood,” McClellan said to cheers. due to staffing shortages. The clinic is one of four in the state that offer abortion care, and the only one outside of Salt Lake County. Boyd said the organization is planning to reopen that clinic at the end of this month.
