Understanding the unique goals, needs and concerns of each patient is central to providing gender affirming services at Student Health Services. If you are interested in transition or gender affirming medical services, please make an appointment with our case manager as part of the initial process. Call (562) 985-4771 to schedule your appointment.

During your first appointment, our case manager will review your health history with you. Obtaining medical records for hormone therapy is required for continuing management of your hormone therapy at Student Health Services. Our case manager can assist you with this. A letter of support from a mental health professional is not required for maintaining hormone therapy at Student Health Services.

At your second appointment, you will be meeting with a medical provider who has a special interest and training in transgender health. During this appointment, your provider will review your health history and order any necessary lab tests. A prescription will be provided for hormone therapy, if requested. If you are using an injectable medication, training for self-injection can be provided by our Registered Nurse. Most hormone therapy prescriptions are available at our pharmacy at the lowest possible cost.

• Have previous medical records transferred to SHS (case manager will help with this process)
