A broad spectrum of gender-affirming care services
Kaiser Permanente members have access to a range of gender-affirming care options. You’ll be in a safe, inclusive environment, supported by a skilled team of health care professionals.
Your primary care doctor will help you understand your options and guide you through your gender-affirming care process.
Hormone therapy
Endocrinologists and other specialists will work with you to find the best treatment plan for your needs, which may include hormone therapy.
Mental health care
Mental health support is available throughout your gender-affirming care process and beyond. Our therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists coordinate with the rest of your care team — creating a more seamless experience for you.
Surgical evaluations and procedures
Experienced specialists can help you understand what gender-affirming surgical procedures are available and what may be right for you.
Counseling for children and teens
We offer robust support and counseling to help kids and young adults navigate their identities. If your child needs gender-affirming care, a team of health care professionals will guide you and your family through available options.
Better care from a connected team
Kaiser Permanente physicians, care teams, facilities, and health plans are all part of one connected team. It’s the same team as our mental health clinicians, pharmacists, and lab technicians. This helps us deliver better experiences for our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse members.
- No need to tell your story over and over. Everyone who cares for you will know your true name and pronouns. They’ll also know your medical history and care goals.
- Easily navigate what’s covered. We’ll help you understand what your health plan covers, so you can make informed choices.
- We coordinate your care. You can focus on you. Your assessments, approvals, and referrals automatically post to your electronic health record. That way, your care team can easily access them.
Supportive, inclusive care for all that is you
We’re here to provide inclusive care for all members. You’ll be treated with compassion and respect, and we’ll use your true name and pronouns.
