Dear Health Facility Licensing Certification Coordinator, 

Attached please find certifications pursuant to Executive Order GA-15 and Health Facility Licensing 

Guidance Letter No. GL 20-1007. 

As HHSC is aware, because Planned Parenthood Center for Choice ASC and Planned Parenthood Center 

for Choice Stafford are a licensed ambulatory surgical center and a licensed ab011ion facility respectively, 

they do not have any hospital capacity. 

Planned Parenthood Center for Choice ASC and Planned Parenthood Center for Choice Stafford 

understand that because they have submitted the attached certifications, Executive Order GA-15 's 

requirements relating to postponement of certain surgeries and procedures do not apply to them. If HHSC 

has a contrary understanding, we respectfully request that you advise us to that effect by no later than 

April 21, 2020, at 3:00 p.m. CST.
