16 Utah medical providers: 'Gender-affirming care is as equally life-saving and as important as treatment for asthma, autism, heart conditions or type I diabetes.'
Troy Williams of Equality Utah reacts to a statement by intern Ari Webb, which was read by Sen. Nate Blouin, D-Salt Lake City, as the Senate gives final passage to a bill aiming to crack down on the ability of doctors to prescribe hormone therapy for minors who are transgender, at the Capitol building in Salt Lake City on Friday January 20, 2023.We are a group of interprofessional medical providers, recognized as national experts in our fields, serving patients throughout Utah.
All of us in Utah want to access the highest quality health care for our kids. The medical providers here are board-certified, having attended school and additional training for years. They participate in between 50 and 100 hours of additional training and continuing education each year. All of the other members of the health care team have advanced degrees and professional certifications and participate in hundreds of hours of additional continuing education across their careers.
Gender-affirming care is as equally life-saving and as important as treatment for asthma, autism, heart conditions or type I diabetes. It is evidence-based, widely recommended care that has been developed to help transgender people, meaning those whose current gender identity doesn’t match their assigned sex at birth. This care involves a variety of services including, but not always, medications, some surgeries, voice therapy, primary care and mental health care.
