Trans Health Access
The Trans Health Access Team is a group of medical, behavioral health, and allied service professionals working to improve access to culturally and clinically competent healthcare for the trans community.
Trans is an umbrella term that encompasses many identities, including transgender, gender diverse, nonbinary, genderqueer, intersex, agender, and others.
Vision
Every member of the Thundermist community should have access to care that supports them and their health needs. We recognize we have a responsibility to act proactively and deliberately to combat the discrimination trans, nonbinary, and gender diverse individuals face in the healthcare system, and to address the many health disparities experienced by trans people.
Appointments
Trans individuals seeking health care at Thundermist can contact our call center at 401-767-4100 and request to see a Trans Health Access Team provider.
Our services include medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare, in a caring and compassionate patient-centered medical home.
Please note:
Patients must be a Thundermist primary care patient to access Thundermist behavioral health services.
