Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, Inc. (UHPP) began in 1934 as a family planning clinic in the Mother's Health Center offices of Dr. Frances E. Vosburgh, and was sponsored by the Albany Birth Control Committee. In 1938 the name was changed to the Albany Maternal Guidance Association and installed with a rotating board. In 1942 UHPP removed to 20 Trinity Place, Albany, New York, and, under pressure by local Catholic leaders, severed its association from Albany Hospital and Trinity Institute. The name of the organization was again changed in 1947 to Planned Parenthood Association of Albany, moving to its present location on Lark Street in 1964. As social mores and legislation changed, the services were expanded to include single women and minors, making it necessary to open branch clinics in outlying towns and counties.
UHPP provides counseling, referrals, and examinations for contraception, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer prevention and infertility as well as for psycho-social concerns. The organization disseminates information on family planning through publications, a library and a speaker's bureau.
