During Pride month and every month, we’re proud to be your LGBTQ+ partner for good. 🏳️🌈 We offer compassionate, inclusive care to all our LGBTQ+ patients, members, community, and colleagues because everyone deserves access to quality health care without discrimination. Our teams were overjoyed to celebrate nearly three decades of participating in the Pride festival and parade this past weekend!

Dr. Deb Thorp has worked tirelessly to ensure that every patient feels welcome, included, and valued throughout her career. Dr. Thorp is a pioneer in gender health and LGBTQ+ care. She recently retired from direct patient care after nearly 35 years. As an OB-GYN, her career is filled with numerous honors and awards, but she told Lavender Magazine her biggest accomplishment was “meeting my patients where they are so that I can give them the best and safe medical options.” Dr. Thorp will continue as the medical director at our gender services clinic.
