Transgender care is gender-affirming care. It focuses on a broad range of services that support and affirm patients throughout their medical journey.

The Gender Health Program at LA Health Services sees transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming patients of all ages.

  • Educational discussions with a provider about options for gender-affirming care
  • Gender-affirming hormone therapy
  • Puberty suppression
  • Mental Health Services and Social support services
  • Gender-inclusive counseling/education for sexual health and reproductive goals
  • Access to gender-affirming surgery
  • Hair removal
  • Voice therapy
  • Screenings, treatment, and prevention (PrEP and PEP) for sexually transmitted infections (STI)
  • Contraception

At LA Health Services we understand that gender-affirming care is a medical necessity and vital to the well-being of our patients. Our medical teams are committed to providing care in a welcoming and respectful environment.

The Gender Health Program is currently available at 4 clinical locations across LA County, including LA General Medical Center, Harbor UCLA Medical Center, Hubert Humphrey Comprehensive Health Center, and High Desert Regional Health Center, with more coming soon!
