the Transcend team
We are committed to serving the trans and gender diverse community with the superior quality of peer-led services. We believe in a community-driven model of development, and we respect our community as the ultimate expert. The clinicians on our team have worked extensively with our community, and we have been patient-centered, informed consent practices since our inception. Our team has created education and training programs for physicians, pharmacists and therapists. We have presented at national conferences on transgender care, educating on the needs of our community.
