Mary Calderone accepts part-time position of medical director of Planned Parenthood of America (More, 207). “By the time Calderone resigned from PPFA [in 1964], the APHA in 1959 and the AMA in 1964 both had issued policy statements supporting the inclusion of family planning in general medical practice – in large measure because of her behind-the scenes lobbying” (209).
