Episode - 19 - Gender-Affirming Care, and Why it Matters...

When talking about all things healthcare, it's important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach and that the various communities served by our healthcare systems oftentimes have different needs.  For the transgender community, in particular, health outcomes for patients can be immensely different when the patient and their specific needs and circumstances are understood by the practitioner.  Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Haylee Veazey, a leading physician in gender-affirming care and founder of the Adult Gender and Sexual Health Clinic at Hennepin Healthcare, as we explore this essential side of our healthcare system, and learn more about the transgender population it serves.
