S7E14: Improving Health Care for Trans Patients
Update: 2024-08-26
Description
An estimated 1.14% of the U.S. population—around 3 million people—identify as transgender, yet many face significant barriers when accessing health care. The medical field has traditionally been structured without considering the unique needs of trans individuals, resulting in substantial gaps in care and understanding.
Laurel and Hạ talk with Jane Hiatt about the challenges trans people encounter while navigating the health care system and emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive provider training in trans health. They discuss how compassionate, informed patient care is essential to building a more inclusive and equitable medical environment that effectively serves all patients.
