Since launching in August of 2018, The Brigid Alliance has assisted more than 8,500 individuals and families from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and beyond. We are a crucial part of the reproductive health ecosystem, connecting the geographic and metaphorical dots between policy, providers, practice, and patients.
