Comprehensive care for transgender and gender diverse kids
At Children’s Minnesota we provide a safe and accepting environment for transgender and gender diverse youth and their families to ask questions, seek support and access evidence-based mental health and medical care. We do not perform gender affirming surgeries.
Children’s Minnesota Gender Health program is an exclusively pediatric, multidisciplinary gender health program, and includes pediatric gender health, endocrinology and gynecology physicians.
The Gender Health program provides compassionate and comprehensive care for transgender and gender-diverse youth. We’re dedicated to serving as an essential medical partner and resource for transgender youth and families along their journey.
