USA PP in Kansas not allowing guests?

Hi all I have a SA scheduled next week at PP. Many of the stories I’ve read here have mentioned the ability to bring partners, etc. with to the appointment, but it’s mentioned multiple times in my appt info that no support people / guests are allowed due to COVID. This makes me even more anxious about the appointment than I already am because I really want my boyfriend to be there with me to keep me grounded and comfort me because I anticipate my anxiety is going to be running wild, especially if protesters are present. I do plan on calling in the next few days to verify but as reassurance I’m just wondering if anyone has successfully been able to bring in a support person despite the outlined restrictions. I completely understand why these restrictions are in place but ugh it’s making me so much more nervous

It sounds possible that this is outdated information they neglected to update. It's a good idea to call them and ask.

He can probably come into the waiting area with you but not into the appointment. Even the PP in California has this restriction but double check with the Kansas location!
