Trans Health

Trans people, like many others in the LGBTQ community, have particular health concerns and disparities when compared to the overall population.

But it’s also not safe to assume all trans people face the same risks. That’s why culturally competent, sensitive and trans-informed and -trained care is of the utmost importance to Equitas Health.

At Equitas Health, know you are in good hands in a trans-affirming environment designed to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re a trans man or woman, genderqueer or gender nonconforming, Equitas Health has a range of medical services just for you.

Trans services include:

Primary care including annual physicals
Immunizations such as HPV and Hepatitis A and B
Mental health therapy
Psychiatry services
Screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted infections
HIV specialty care
Cervical cancer screenings
Hormone Replacement Therapy

For more information please see our Trans Health Guide.

Our Approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy

At Equitas Health, we believe our role is to help our trans and gender non-conforming clients live authentically. Too often, health care providers who serve the trans community act as obstacles rather than facilitators. That’s why we administer Hormone Replacement Therapy via an Informed Consent Model. This means that at our clinics, you do not need prior approval from a psychiatrist or therapist to start HRT. In addition, our approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy is Non-Binary Affirming. Our providers will listen to you and help you map out a HRT regimen that will help you reach your goals, rather than force you down a path better suited for someone with a binary identity.
