Reproductive Health Resources Available

The Supreme Court’s decision to reverse longstanding abortion rights protections has led to understandable fear, anger, and confusion for many in the Los Rios community, as well as questions about what options still exist to access abortions safely, legally, and confidentially. The State of California has already taken steps to codify abortion rights throughout the state, and it’s important to understand what reproductive health resources are available to Los Rios employees via our benefit plans. For information on reproductive health resources, including answers to key questions you might have, visit our webpage.
