Planned Parenthood Under Fire


Listen Later

Caitlin Hedberg has served as a development officer for Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI) for over five years. During that time, she is perhaps most proud of the way that PPGNHI has innovated to serve rural Alaskans with the Planned Parenthood Care app, which connects Alaskans everywhere with direct access to clinicians to provide birth control and other critical reproductive services. She holds a M.A. from the University of Denver in International Administration, and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Colorado at Denver. Caitlin speaks Spanish fluently and enjoys traveling and exploring the world, especially nature. She lives in Anchorage with her partner, Chris, and her 10 month old pup, Carlo.

Dr. Tina Tomsen was a military brat, graduated from Dimond High School, went to Rice University, the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, then did 2 years at Dartmouth and 3 more at Baylor College of Medicine for residency. She returned to Anchorage in 1986 and was in solo practice from 1986 - 1995, at which time she became one of the founding partners of the Anchorage Women’s Clinic. She is now the last practicing founding partner at AWC, which has grown to employ about 70 souls. Tina has limited her practice to (benign) gynecology since 1992, added robotic surgery to her skillset in 2009, and most recently ceased doing major surgeries to have time for more administrative duties while continuing office practice and minor surgeries. She has “too many hobbies, and has developed plenty of opinions…. but that makes for a good life.”
