We aim to increase health
equity for trans people, starting now
Trans Health
Equity Alliance
Our goal is to reduce barriers to finding excellent trans-affirming and -competent primary care
CHALLENGE
It can be difficult to find primary care providers that incorporate basic gender-affirming medical care into primary practice, impacting the quality of care trans people receive
Uncertainty around potential bias and negative experiences with prior providers further keep trans people from seeking care
OUR MISSION
It needs to be easy for trans people to find and access high quality trans-competent primary care providers
Our mission is to improve the quality of healthcare for transgender people by identifying and expanding the pool of excellent primary care doctors that are known to provide gender-affirming primary care
APPROACH
We are working to systematically identify excellent primary care providers who provide trans-friendly, trans-competent primary care
We are using direct provider outreach and community involvement. A provider database will be available soon, incorporating various aspects of gender-affirming care available
