Did you know that Transgender Awareness Week is a weeklong event leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance?
From November 12th through November 19th, join the UCI Department of Pediatrics and our Pediatric Gender Diversity Program as we celebrate and bring awareness to our trans community. The UCI Health Pediatric Gender Diversity Program offers Orange County’s only interdisciplinary program dedicated to caring for transgender and gender-expansive children, teens and young adults.
“I finally felt at ease with knowing that my medical provider was knowledgeable and was there to support me through my journey. I did not have to teach my doctor how to take care of me like I had in the past and I am deeply grateful for that.”
Transgender individuals are often excluded from affirming healthcare. UCI GDP is doing its part to expand access and availability.
Please keep your transgender friends and family in your hearts, minds, and prayers throughout this week and please refer us to them if they are in need of affirming care!
