Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette announced Tuesday the closures of three of its nine area health centers.
In a news release, the 51-year-old organization said the decision to close the centers and reduce staff "was difficult but necessary in order to maintain a fiscally solvent operation that continues to keep our doors open to patients in our region for the long-term."
