Hear From a Patient:
“Before coming to WHC, I was struggling with accessing consistent gender-affirming healthcare. Gaps in my care led to painful and dysphoric menstrual periods and caused my transition to stagnate. Since coming to WHC, I've received respectful, attentive, expert medical care that has empowered me to take charge of my health and life. I look more like myself in the mirror every day. The WHC team is a godsend. I trust them to deliver the best patient-centered care for everyone.”
