Hey Jane is a healthcare business which provides abortion-related healthcare services in the United States. Hey Jane was founded by Gaby Izarra, Kiki Freedman, and Kate Shaw in 2020. The original focus of Hey Jane was to provide medication abortion services to women, particularly women who were unable to conveniently visit abortion providers.[1]
In 2023, Hey Jane expanded their services to provide non-abortion gynecological care for issues such as urinary tract infections and herpes.[2]
As of August 2023, Hey Jane provides services in 11 states.[2]
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.[3]
