Overview
We strive to provide a safer, respectful, and affirming environment that meets the needs and supports the livelihood of our transgender and gender expansive patients.
From medical, behavioural health and all of our support services, you deserve care that honors your experience. Do you have questions about starting hormone therapy? Looking to learn more about affirming surgery support, explore your options for mental health care, or want help with a legal name and gender marker change on documents?’
Finding quality, safer and stigma-free health care can be challenging. Whitman-Walker team members are here to support you. Through our gender affirming services, we will help you reach your specific health care goals.
Whitman-Walker Health provides gender affirming hormone therapy to people as young as 10 with parental or guardian consent. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must complete your registration paperwork on your behalf.
