TRANSGENDER AND GENDER
NON-CONFORMING MEDICINE
Transgender and gender non-conforming patients sometimes have special health needs
that aren’t fully understood by health care professionals, creating difficulties for both
patients and providers. In June, our Department of Family Medicine set out to narrow the
knowledge gap by hosting a continuing medical education conference for Ohio physicians
and other health care professionals called “Providing Hormone Treatment to Trans and
Gender Non-Conforming Patients.” Presenters covered topics such as surgical options, the
challenges patients face and how to make a doctor’s office more trans- and GNC-friendly.

PROVIDING
CARE WHERE IT’S
NEEDED MOST
Early detection is vital in preventing deaths from breast and
cervical cancer, but many women in southeast Ohio fail to get
regular screenings because they can’t afford them or can’t find
the time. For more than two decades, our Community Health
Programs have combatted the issue by providing breast health
education, cancer screenings, breast and pelvic exams, and
vouchers for mammograms to women through our mobile clinic.
Now, through collaborative partnerships with mobile
mammography units at Ohio State University Stefanie Spielman
Comprehensive Breast Center and OhioHealth, as well as
several hospital partners, same-day mammograms have been
added to the list of services provided at one-stop mobile clinic
visits, ensuring that more women receive the breast screenings
that could save their lives.
