About Us

Big picture thinking. Real world results.

AccessMatters’ mission is to protect, expand, and enhance access to sexual and reproductive health care and information for all people. AccessMatters, a non-profit, public health organization located in Center City Philadelphia, envisions a future where every person has the health care and information they seek.

Transforming conversations about why access matters.

As fearless advocates for sexual and reproductive health, we galvanize stakeholders and policymakers regionally and nationally to de-stigmatize sexual and reproductive health. We are committed to raising the flag of sexual and reproductive health in each community where we work, to make it a public health priority, and a core component of primary care.

Not just experts. Experienced.

For over 50 years, our organization has been working to successfully eliminate barriers to care for more than 100,000 people annually in southeastern Pennsylvania and beyond.

Seeing the big picture.

Our relationships with a vast spectrum of health care providers and strategic partners–from leading academic institutions to community organizations–gives us the ability to identify opportunities and solutions where others do not. Not only does this unique and powerful perspective enhance all our partner support services, but it also guides our advocacy and community engagement.
