Choice Notes: Summer 2009, Volume 15, Issue 3, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida

We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Sujatha (Suzie) Prabhakaran joined our team in July as Medical Director. In this capacity, Dr. Prabhakaran will direct the affiliate medical program, oversee seven fulltime health centers and implement medical protocols that are consistent with Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s medical standards. Dr. Prabhakaran grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where she was surrounded by doctors (both of her parents and several uncles are physicians). She got her undergraduate degree in biology at the University of Toledo and her medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio. She obtained a master of public health degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and this year completed a fellowship at the University of North Carolina, where she did research on women’s health issues. Dr. Prabhakaran is licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina and Florida. She is sitting for her Boards in November.

A rotation at a Planned Parenthood clinic during medical school helped convince Dr. Prabhakaran to become an OB/GYN and to be attracted to our affiliate as medical director. “I really admired Planned Parenthood’s approach to health care. It wasn’t just medical services; it included educational and policy concerns, as well. This, to me, is the sensible approach to reproductive health care.”

Her goals as Medical Director are to work towards making abortion and reproductive health care not only less taboo in our society but an accepted part of health care. She is also hoping to collaborate more with local universities in teaching and engaging medical students and residents to become Planned Parenthood providers, as well as working to include our affiliate in more research opportunities.

When Dr. Prabhakaran is not working, she loves to travel, explore other cultures, eat in really good restaurants and go to theatre, dance, and other cultural attractions.
