28 Apr Healthcare Resources and HRT for the Transgender Community in New Hampshire and New Jersey
Hi Everyone,
You know that we want you to be healthy and safe. To help you with your health care journey we do this weekly post on health care for the transgender, nonbinary, gender queer and non-conforming community. While we are creating this site for you, we are also doing this weekly post on health care. This has become a very challenging time for almost all Americans and especially for the LGBTQ+ community. While we work to meet these challenges and support each other it is important to make sure we take care of our own health. We are updating our #WellnessWednesday posts to document sites that are still compassionately offering Transgender health services. We are doing this work by states in alphabetical order.
We’ll just go through the states alphabetically, unless you send us a note and request a particular state and we’ll move requests to the top of the list.
Today we are covering New Hampshire and New Jersey.
Many resources are, to their credit, creating comfortable places for routine and proactive health maintenance as well as interventionary health care. We will try to highlight what is offered in each case.
If you still can’t find the health care you need, drop us a note on FB (B.UR.SLF LLC), instagram/ twitter @burslfllc or email burslfllc@gmail.com and we will see what we can do to help.
This week we are listing resources for New Hampshire and New Jersey.
