Transgender Care
Greater Lawrence Family Health Center provides medical care and gender supportive services that are sensitive to the needs of people on the trans spectrum.
Transgender Care services are only available to patients who are or become patients of GLFHC and designate a GLFHC clinician as their Primary Care Provider (PCP).
GLFHC is committed to providing affirming care of the highest quality, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, religion, or socio-economic status.
GLFHC’s Transgender Care program helps to ensure access to high-quality, informed care for trans women, trans men, gender nonconforming, non-binary individuals, affirmed men and women, people with trans histories, and anyone with health needs unique to their diverse gender expressions and identities.

- Transform the way trans people receive care and lead the way in eliminating barriers to achieving maximum health and wellbeing
