Planned Parenthood announces closure of Rolla clinic

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Planned Parenthood location in Rolla will close on Thursday, Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced in a Tuesday press release.

Telehealth visits will still be available for those in the area and residents who did visiti the Rolla health center can continue receiving in-person care in Springfield, the release says.

The press release criticized President Donald Trump.

“Throughout 2025, Planned Parenthood health centers have had to contend with the deep, negative impacts of attacks on health care access, funding, and legal protections,” the release says. “Federal ‘defund’ efforts under the Trump administration and its allies in Congress have put more than 200 health centers at risk, severely restricting care for 1.1 million Americans, especially low-income, rural, and Black and Brown patients.”
