A message from the Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Gender Health team
To our patients and their families,
We stand tall and remain committed to providing exceptional care to ALL patients in our trans health programs. The care we provide is longstanding and proven to be safe and effective for the treatment of gender dysphoria. In these uncertain times, we recognize that our work is more important than ever, and we will continue to care for our young patients to the fullest extent possible.
Our values and our mission are unchanged, and our dedication to the health and happiness of the young people we serve has not and will not waiver. We are proud of the work we do in our clinics and will continue to fight alongside our patients for health equity and improved access to healthcare.
If you are an established patient (or parent of an established patient) and you have questions or need support, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Important notes about mental health support
We provide health support, but we do not offer ongoing, long-term therapy. Our program requires that you connect with a therapist for mental health support. We can assist you in connecting with a mental health provider in your community.
We know it can be challenging to find therapists at this time. So we strongly recommend that you begin searching for a therapist before your child’s first appointment.
