WHO WE ARE
Dedicated to building an inclusive healthcare system, Affirming Care Alberta connects a province-wide advisory network of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations, and trans and gender-diverse (TGD) community members.
By sharing their expertise and lived experiences, these groups collaborate to ensure Alberta's healthcare is accessible and affirming for all.
Affirming Care Alberta is a program of the Queer & Trans Health Collective (QTHC) — a grassroots health organization run by and for queer and trans people in Edmonton and across Alberta.
Our Vision
Our vision is for all queer and trans community members to have equitable opportunities to experience positive health and well-being.
Our Mission
We empower queer and trans well-being through programming which promotes equitable access to health education, support, capacity building, community-based research, and provider training.
WHAT WE DO
We make gender-affirming care easier to understand, access, and provide.
Affirming Care Alberta offers education for healthcare providers, resources for community members, and policy guidance for organizations working to improve TGD healthcare across Alberta.
