PPPSGV provides on-the-ground reproductive health care, health education and advocacy for local people across Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. PPFA is a national organization and does not provide direct medical services in local communities, but serves as a resource for policymakers, media and health care providers. PPFA does set medical standards for all Planned Parenthood affiliates in the United States and, in so doing, ensures the high quality healthcare offered by its affiliates. The local and national organizations conduct independent fundraising campaigns, but work to coordinate these efforts.
