Adult Gender & Sexual Health Clinic
This unique and welcoming LGBTQA+ clinic at Hennepin Healthcare provides primary care to adult gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, gender-nonconforming, and non-binary patients.
Location
The Adult Gender & Sexual Health (AGSH) Clinic at Hennepin Healthcare downtown is a medical clinic that is designed to create a safe and comfortable environment for anyone in the gender and sexual minority community to seek care.
Hennepin Healthcare’s Adult Gender & Sexual Health Clinic isn’t limited to one type of care. We can manage your hormone replacement therapy and/or PrEP, while also managing your high blood pressure and referring you to surgeons and mental healthcare providers. We have the ability to refer you internally to any of the specialties offered at Hennepin Healthcare. Physicians, community health workers, social workers, and mental health specialists work together to provide informed care in a safe environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you can, bring any medical records you have from previous doctors. We will need to know about any and all medical problems, previous surgeries, allergies, current medications, immunizations, family history, and any other information about your body and life that might be important for your healthcare.
Locally, within the Twin Cities, we can refer you for facial feminization surgery, voice surgery, top surgery (breast augmentation as well as masculinizing chest reconstruction), and recently, for vaginoplasty. There will likely be more to come soon.
This is a model of caring for transgender patients who wish to masculinize or feminize their bodies with hormones in order to better align their outward appearance with their gender identity. The heart of this idea is that if someone can demonstrate that they are able to understand the risks, benefits, and potential effects of hormone replacement, a doctor can and will be willing to help them safely begin and continue hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
