UPMC offers supportive, expert care for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes but is not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, genderfluid, and/or aromantic people. 

Not all people under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella have the same health care needs. No matter your gender or sexual identity, UPMC will tailor a treatment plan for you and your unique needs.

UPMC health care for LGBTQIA+ and TGD people includes:

  • Behavioral and mental health.

We also offer several integrated clinics to help LGBTQIA+ and TGD people get care that meets their needs.

Finding LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care at UPMC

UPMC made an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Provider designation that our health care workers can earn.

This helps you find doctors and other experts trained in LGBTQIA+ health needs who offer safe, validating, and welcoming care.

LGBTQIA+ Adult and Youth Care at UPMC

We offer transgender surgery and other gender-affirming care at UPMC. This includes care for female-to-male (trans masculine) and male-to-female (trans feminine) people.

The UPMC Magee Center for Reproduction and Transplantation team treats gender dysphoria. They can help you get ready for gender-affirming surgery.

Trans people can also preserve their fertility at the Magee Center's Fertility Preservation Program.

Many people who are LGBTQIA+ may not fall under one label or identity. That's why UPMC caters to the unique needs of each gender-diverse person.

This includes people who are:

  • Agender.
  • Genderfluid.
  • Gender neutral.
  • Genderqueer.
  • Nonbinary.
  • Pangender.
  • Third-gender.
  • Two-spirit.
  • Another gender identity.

Voice therapy and training at UPMC can help gender-diverse people with the sound and feel of their voice. A speech-language pathologist can help ensure your voice depicts and reflects your identity.
