Planned Parenthood expects to start offering vasectomy services at its Honolulu and Kahului Health Centers with procedures beginning June 12 and 13.

According to Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaiʻi, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, the expansion marks a major step forward in ensuring that everyone has access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care.

“We’re thrilled to expand our care offerings to include vasectomy services in Hawaiʻi. Everyone deserves access to birth control options that work for them, and that includes vasectomy care,” CEO Rebecca Gibron said in a statement.

“This care gives people another way to take responsibility for preventing pregnancy and supporting their partners. Birth control is not just one person’s burden — it’s a shared responsibility,” she continued. “We’re proud to offer this option in Hawaiʻi so everyone can take an active role in their reproductive freedom.”

Vasectomies are a low-risk outpatient procedure with a quick recovery time and are more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.
