Better Transgender Care Now - Get Involved in the Community Clinics Campaign
In the summer of 2006, FTM Alliance of Los Angeles and the Transgender Law Center expanded our health care access programs to include working on transforming health care services offered at LA-based community clinics. In doing this work, we are emphasizing community organizing strategies. The work is funded primarily by the California Endowment, California Wellness Foundation, and Liberty Hill Foundation. The Community Clinics Campaign (C3) is about changing the health care infrastructure to improve the health and well-being of transgender people and their families throughout L.A County. We will identify up to 5 clinics from around the county with whom we can work to increase their ability to provide health care to the transgender community. This infrastructure will:(1) reduce the ill-effects that occur when some people are not able to transition (depression, anxiety, etc)
(2) provide culturally appropriate access to on-going basic health care
(3) allow service providers the opportunity to work one-on-one with patients to reduce their risk for health-related societal problems (HIV transmission, substance abuse, etc.)This would mean that the services would be available to people without insurance, people on Medi-Cal, and probably on a sliding scale basis to people whose insurance excludes transition related care.
