advocacy, support, & resources
Our Case Management Program helps close the gap of intersecting health disparities faced by many LGBTQ people. In-house case managers address barriers to your care and help you access and navigate medical, social, community, legal, and financial resources.
Case management is available to current patients.
Non-medical case management services include:
- Access to basic needs, such as housing, food, clothing, and toiletries
- Advocating on behalf of clients for basic needs, legal help, social services, and other issues
- Employment resources
- Insurance and affordable health care assistance
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Resources for emergency financial funds
- Linkage to help with domestic and intimate partner violence
- Connections to LGBTQ-affirming mental health providers, support groups, and inpatient/outpatient programs
- Help with updating name and gender ID documents, including licenses, birth certificates, social security, and more
- Advocating and raising awareness on behalf of clients and community needs
