Gender-affirming care describes ideal medical, surgical and mental health services sought by transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people. Gender-affirming medical care can range from routine preventive health care to hormone replacement, surgery or other interventions. Mental health services may include therapy, psychiatric medication and letter writing.
UW Seattle campus health staff and providers strive to affirm the identities of our patients in each interaction. Our approach to care is rooted in the informed consent model.
