Hey Jane is a New York City-based healthcare company that provides abortion-related healthcare services in the United States.[1] The original focus of Hey Jane was to provide medication abortion services to women, particularly women who were unable to conveniently visit abortion providers.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Hey Jane was founded by Gaby Izarra, Kiki Freedman, and Kate Shaw in 2020. At the time, Kiki Freedman was enrolled at Harvard Business School.[3]
Services
[edit | edit source]Hey Jane initially focused on offering medication abortion services, especially for women who had difficulty accessing traditional abortion providers. Hey Jane accepts select insurance plans, as well as offers self-pay patients sliding-scale pricing based on their income. The company also partners with abortion funds to help patients pay for treatment.[4]
In 2023, Hey Jane expanded their services to provide non-abortion gynecological care for issues such as urinary tract infections and herpes.[5]
As of August 2023, Hey Jane provides services in 11 states.[5]
According to Hey Jane, they provide telehealth services for about 18 percent of abortions in Virginia and Delaware, and 15 percent of abortions in Hawaii.[6]
