Tuesday, Nov. 20 is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance that honours the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
Throughout the week, we have poster boards on display at our sites that provide information on how to be an ally to a transgender person, how to provide quality healthcare to a transgender person and how to support a colleague who is transgender or transitioning their gender.
Niagara Health has a committee that meets regularly to ensure policies and processes are supportive of people who are transgender, and also to address any questions or concerns that arise with a goal of improving experiences for transgender people who receive care at Niagara Health.
