How to Access Gender Affirming Health Services on Prince Edward Island
Primary Healthcare Provider
To access gender affirming service on PEI, please contact your primary care provider if you have one. This is quickest and most efficient way to receive care. If you do not have a primary care provider, or are not comfortable discussing gender affirming care with your provider, you may self-refer to Health PEI's Gender Affirming Clinic.
