Gender Affirming Care and Resources
Accessing Health Care Services
The Student Health Service recognizes that navigating the system and accessing gender-affirming care may present challenges. The Health Service continues to try to grow and expand to offer the care and support our transgender and gender non-conforming patients need.
For more information about gender-affirming care offered at the Student Health Service, please call the office at 847.491.8100 and ask for an appointment with Joey Harmon, Practice Manager (johanna.harmon@nm.org) or Kathryn Burns, RN Operations Coordinator (kathryn.burns@nm.org).
