Trans Care

Here is what we provide. 

Answers to your questions.

We know that hearing the correct name and pronouns matter to our patients.

We are not able to change your gender marker in our system but we can update our records to include the name and pronouns you use. You can also make these updates on your profile in MyHealthConnection.

Staff members may also ask you to confirm your name and pronouns to make sure your record is up to date. We understand your name and pronouns may change between visits so please help us to respect your choices and keep your record updated.
