The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) established Gender Health SF to provide access to gender-affirming surgeries, education, and preparation services to eligible uninsured and publicly insured transgender, nonbinary, and intersex residents. SFDPH currently offers a range of health services to transgender, nonbinary, and intersex residents such as primary care, prevention, behavioral health, hormone therapy, specialty, and inpatient care.
This new initiative was born out of the incredible work of community advocates, which ultimately led to the following developments:
All patients referred to Gender Health SF for gender-affirming surgery will be connected to a peer patient navigator. Patient navigators monitor patient care from the point of referral through post-op surgical care and follow-up. A patient navigator will assist in moving a patient through the process of gender-affirming surgeries and procedures, which includes:
All SF Health Network, DPH Clinic, and DPH consortium clinic patients are eligible for patient navigation. A referral from your PCP clinic is required to establish services with Gender Health SF. Please discuss with your primary care provider or call Gender Health SF mainline for more information regarding navigation. Please see Gender Affirming Surgery Access & Services for more information about referral process.
