Addressing Our Transgender Health Crisis

This event took place on Friday, March 11, 2022 at 2:30 PM UTC.

Few groups face more daunting health challenges than transgender and gender non-binary Americans, more than 52 percent of whom, according to one recent survey, have seriously contemplated suicide. Making matters even worse, physicians and health care providers too often lack the sensitivity and education required to offer their transgender patients the best care. This panel of experts and advocates will survey the landscape and propose concrete ways in which health systems, policy makers, and other interested parties can work together to make sure at-risk transgender patients receive the care they need and deserve. Venue: Austin Marriott Downtown Waterloo Ballroom 4 Speakers: Andrew keaster, MD Daniel Ofri, MD David Rosenthal, PHD Alex Wade
