Equality Clinic runs on the premise that no one should be denied healthcare on account of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
We serve as an LGBTQ-friendly space for those in the CSRA community who are under- or un-insured and fall below 200% of the federal poverty level. We are creating a clinic where patients can receive the care they deserve in a welcoming, open environment. Wherever you fall on the complex spectrums of gender expression, gender identity, and sexual attraction, you can come to Equality Clinic and discuss your specific health needs without fear of judgment or discrimination.
