Planned Parenthood Federation of America announced earlier this month that it had recruited Dr. Leana Wen, the outgoing Commissioner of Health for the City of Baltimore, as its new president. As the organization noted, a doctor will lead Planned Parenthood for the first time in nearly 50 years. Wen is an emergency room physician. On this encore episode, we hear Mattie's interview with Wen from her time as Baltimore health commissioner which was originally released as the second episode of The 23% on March 20, 2017. The 23% is sponsored by Governing's Women in Government Leadership Program and its sponsors - the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Intuit, Lenovo Government, NIC, Comcast, Microsoft, Phillips, and Walmart.
