Find a Provider
Finding and choosing the right health care provider is critical because the quality of your relationship has a direct effect on the quality of care you receive and your health outcomes.
Ask Others
Ask people you know who their provider is and what she or he is like, etc. It can be especially helpful to ask other LBTQ people for referrals.
