Transgender Health
At Health Services, we serve all students, including those who identify as transgender and/or gender non-conforming, and/or intersex. We recognize that transgender students are sometimes hesitant to access health care, so we work hard to create and maintain a space where students can ask questions, get answers, and receive compassionate health care in a supportive environment.
Our providers can refer students to specialists knowledgeable in gender transition. We, along with our Counseling Center colleagues, believe it is important to provide ongoing support and primary care services with respect and knowledge of the medical and emotional issues unique to transitioning.
