PRACTITIONER RESOURCES Primary care practitioners & health care teams are uniquely well-positioned to provide & improve access to gender-affirming health care. Each patient’s journey is unique & the best care happens when the team surrounding the patient is working together with a team-based approach. Within the resource hub, you’ll find clinical tools & resources to support & empower you within the provision of welcoming & inclusive care. |
