Alumni Coffee Chat - Supporting Trans and Nonbinary Patients: Gender-Affirming Care in Primary Practice
2025-06-16 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Kentucky/Louisville)
Alumni Coffee Chat
“Supporting Trans and Nonbinary Patients: Gender-Affirming Care in Primary Practice”
with Lauren Brannon, FNP-BC
We have heard from so many of our alumni that an area they’d like to learn more about is how to best support trans and nonbinary patients when they present for care. One of our esteemed graduates, Lauren Brannon, FNP-BC, has some wonderful information to share with us about how she provides respectful, inclusive, and medically appropriate healthcare. Creating a welcoming environment, addressing hormone therapy requests, providing mental health support, and offering appropriate preventive screenings are common, yet crucial duties of those providing health care. We know that affirming, evidence-based care leads to better outcomes.
