In 2009, CWHC started the Trans Greater Access Project (TGAP), an agency-wide initiative focused on increasing access to affirming health services for trans-identified individuals at CWHC. Through collaboration with community partners and our clients, we strive to provide services that are trans-positive and informed by trans people.
Call 773-935-6126 to schedule any of the services below.
•	All services are available to individuals who are age 18 or older. For younger indiviudals, we recommend Lurie Children's Gender Development Program for hormone administration.
• Some of our providers have more extensive training in trans health issues; therefore, we invite our clients to request a TGAP provider.
•	All services are offered on a self-determined, sliding fee scale.
Appointments with our Nurse Practitioner are available to address general health concerns including screenings, physicals, health education, acute concerns and chronic health issues.
Using an informed consent approach, we offer hormone therapy to clients seeking to initiate or maintain cross gender hormone therapy. Please request a TGAP Provider for these services.
Our hormone therapy services are a more recent and evolving service. We are happy to give you more information about our informed consent model and approach to care before scheduling your appointment to ensure that we are a good fit for you. As a pilot program, we invite clients to offer feedback and input about our hormone administration process.
CWHC offers alternative health care modalities including acupuncture and massage therapy. These complementary health services can help address side effects associated with hormone therapy, as well as support your general well-being and health.
CWHC's counseling program offers individual counseling, partner counseling, groups, and workshops. We also offer short-term counseling for trans individuals desiring support when initiating or considering hormone therapy.
Our AI program is designed to provide affirming care to a diversity of LGBTQ families and single people who do not have access to sperm. We facilitate and support all stages of this process with consultation, fertility awareness education, and insemination services.
Our gynecology program provides transmasculine and genderqueer clients with access to sensitive basic gynecological care that has been informed by trans people.
We value transparency with our community and invite clients and community members to offer feedback and input about our services. For more information or to offer feedback, contact Jubi, our TGAP Coordinator, at 773.935.6126 x228.
