The 18,000-square-foot Illinois abortion clinic, providing care to over 10,000 women, will be among the biggest in the country.
After being planned and built in total secrecy, Planned Parenthood has announced a new 18,000-square-foot"mega-clinic" and abortion facility.
"We were really intentional and thoughtful about making sure that we were able to complete this project as expeditiously as possible because we saw the writing on the wall," McNicholas said."Patients need better access, so we wanted to get it open as quickly as we could." The clinic is due to open its doors later this month and will become one of the largest abortion clinics in the country—providing care for roughly 11,000 women a year.
