Pre-Clinic Huddle | Clinical Care Highlights
|
We are one of the only adult programs in the country where patients can see multiple providers as part of the same visit in the same clinic. This makes it easier for the patient and allows providers to communicate plans in real time for optimal coordination of care. We also provide care in a gender neutral space to ensure patient comfort.

Research Highlights
|
ENDO 2018 |
It is important to develop studies that represent the transgender and gender diverse populations we see in Colorado. Our results will help inform future research, contribute to improvements in gender-affirming care, and improve confidence that shared decision making between patients and providers is more evidence-based.

USPATH 2019 | Education Highlights
|
I've been struck over the past few years by how far some of my transgender patients need to travel to see me for gender-affirming care. My interest in being involved in our transgender ECHO program is rooted in the hope that with a little bit of education, over an extended period of time, more and more clinicians will be locally available for transgender individuals so that they don't have to be inconvenienced in seeking out what I believe should be routine and standard care.
— David Saxon, MD
Community Engagement and Advocacy
| Health Fair |
The Community Advisory Board solicits valuable insights from the community to guide program growth and direction. Direct feedback from the LGBTQ community ensures our program and services are aligned with community needs. Post-visit feedback assists in process optimization, organizational improvement, and visibility where change is needed.
