Dr. Angela Kade Goepferd, medical director Children’s Gender Health Program and director of medical education, spoke with the Star Tribune about what the new Gender Health program means for transgender and gender-diverse kids in Minnesota. The clinic also serves as a place where families with transgender and gender-diverse children can find pediatric care from care providers who understand their child’s unique needs.
