What does THIP mean in HEALTHCARE

The Transgender Health Information Program provides health care and support services to LGBTQ+ individuals as they transition, including counseling, hormone therapy, STD/HIV prevention, gender-affirming surgery referrals, mental health resources, legal aid, and connection to other community organizations.

The Transgender Health Information Program is unique in that it focuses specifically on providing culturally competent care for individuals who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. This means creating an environment where individuals feel safe to express their identity without fear of judgment or discrimination.

All individuals who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming are eligible to receive services from the Transgender Health Information Program. Services are available regardless of income level or insurance status.
