Trans Care BC: Vision for care for trans persons in BC
Trans Care BC is a province-wide information service and resource hub. Our work helps to ensure people have the information they need to access gender-affirming health care and supports.
How we can work together to create an equitable healthcare system for everyone.
Key points:
We need improved access to:
• hormone therapy,
• surgeries and after care, and
• access to trans healthcare services closer to home.We need education and information for service providers.
The quality of service provision is improved by including trans-identified peers.
