Whole Woman's Health Alliance

What Whole Woman's Health Alliance does

Whole Woman's Health Alliance (WWHA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by Amy Hagstrom Miller to provide abortion care and challenge the legal and cultural restrictions surrounding it. WWHA operates two physical clinics—Whole Woman's Health of Minnesota in Bloomington (Minneapolis metro) and Whole Woman's Health of Charlottesville in Virginia—offering procedural abortion up to 20 weeks, medication abortion up to 12 weeks, birth control, pregnancy testing, and STI treatment. The clinics accept in-network insurance, Medicaid in some states, and direct payment, with financial assistance channeled through partner abortion funds. Patients include general abortion seekers, individuals traveling from banned or restricted states in the Midwest and South, LGBTQ+ individuals, and minors navigating parental consent requirements; nearly 70% of patients served are already parents.

WWHA operates a four-pillar service model combining direct clinical care, litigation, education, and advocacy. Its litigation practice, anchored by the Center for Reproductive Rights and The Lawyering Project, is presently pursuing WWHA et al v. FDA (2023) to challenge mifepristone REMS restrictions and previously won the landmark Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt (2016) Supreme Court decision. Education programming includes the Abortion 101 and Abortion 201 training initiatives that bring legislators, press, and community advocates into clinics for direct exposure to care delivery, while a 2024 partnership with the University of Virginia OB/GYN department creates a medical training rotation pipeline. Patient support infrastructure includes the 24/7 EmpowerLine hotline and a network of partner abortion funds covering travel, lodging, childcare, and prescription costs.

WWHA's revenue model combines clinical service fees with philanthropic donations processed through the Bloomerang platform; a 10-year anniversary campaign targets $1 million in fundraising. The organization is governed by an independent board and led by founder Amy Hagstrom Miller and Managing Director Sonja Miller. It is not a parent-subsidiary structure, but its clinics receive management support from the affiliated Whole Woman's Health network, which adds clinical capacity in Baltimore, Alexandria, and Albuquerque plus a national Virtual Care practice operating in 10 states. Following the June 2022 Dobbs decision, WWHA closed its Texas and Indiana clinics and currently focuses its direct-service footprint on the two remaining states.

Direct peers

• Carafem: Reproductive health nonprofit offering abortion care, contraception, and STI testing with a focus on telehealth for medication abortion and a normalized retail-style clinic experience. Comparable technology-led approach to medication abortion delivery.
• Preterm: Independent nonprofit abortion clinic in Cleveland, OH providing medication and procedural abortion up to 21 weeks 6 days, plus primary care and gender-affirming care. Comparable independent-clinic model in a Midwest access state.
• Trust Women Foundation: Independent nonprofit operating abortion clinics in Wichita, KS and Oklahoma City, OK — both states with restrictive abortion environments. Similar integrated care-plus-advocacy model in protected vs. restricted state geographies.
• Whole Woman's Health: Sister/parent for-profit entity that manages WWHA's clinics and operates additional clinics in Baltimore, Alexandria VA, and Albuquerque plus a national Virtual Care practice. Same founder (Amy Hagstrom Miller), same clinical model, same brand identity — effectively WWHA's operational counterpart.

Others

• If/When/How: Reproductive justice legal organization that litigates to expand abortion and contraception access. Comparable mission and overlapping legal advocacy footprint with WWHA's litigation work, but operates as a legal support organization rather than provider.
• Center for Reproductive Rights: Global reproductive rights legal organization that represents WWHA as counsel in WWHA v. FDA and previously in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt. Adjacent legal-advocacy peer and core strategic partner rather than a clinic operator.
• National Abortion Federation (NAF): Professional association of abortion providers that establishes clinical standards, provides provider training, and operates patient assistance funds. Comparable mission around abortion access but serves as an umbrella/membership organization rather than direct clinic operator.
• Exhale: Nonprofit providing post-abortion emotional support and counseling via a national talkline and partner-clinic training. Comparable reproductive-health ecosystem role and overlap with WWHA's patient support programs like the EmpowerLine.

Regional players

• A Woman's Choice: Independent abortion clinic network operating in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Comparable clinical service offering (procedural and medication abortion) but operating primarily in the Southeast under more restrictive legal environments.

Broad incumbents

• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: The dominant national nonprofit reproductive health provider with ~600 health centers across all 50 states. Direct overlap in abortion care, family planning, and contraception, but with vastly broader scope including primary care, STI treatment, and sex education, plus major political/advocacy apparatus.
