Gender Affirming Care PEI

Background of the organization

Gender Affirming Care PEI is a trans-led organization that is dedicated to improving health outcomes for the transgender, transsexual, and intersex communities on Prince Edward Island. They are uniquely positioned to bridge lived experience and health system decision-making, and they work with private healthcare practitioners, government health services, and the island’s trans community to help deliver the best possible outcomes for accessing trans health—both gender-affirming health services and other physical or mental health services for the trans community.

Project description

Funding will support Gender Affirming Care PEI and its partners to co-develop a 2SLGBTQ+ Provincial Health Management Framework with Health PEI. This framework will include an implementation plan, governance model, and evaluation approach to establish and pilot a dedicated team within the provincial health system.
