Trans Community: Organizations and Resources

[Joe Mario]

Anyone have resource guide for General Healthcare, specifically Wellness Care
and Specialists who are LGBT-friendly?
I am in Mid-Atlantic/ Philly area.
Finding this info is like pulling teeth (ridiculous in this day and age).

NOTE: NOT looking for HCP'S who specialize in transitioning.

I have to go to the Washington DC area for that Joe. I have heard that there are some in Baltimore but I don't know for sure

Good luck

Here you go, Joe. Although this center does provide medical transitioning services, the purpose of the center is for general care for all LGBT people.
