Important Information About Transgender Health Care at Holy Cross Health

At Holy Cross Health our goal is to deliver compassionate, high-quality, and affordable health services to all, including transgender patients and their families, offering a wide range of transgender health care at our inpatient and outpatient facilities. Guided by robust policies, Holy Cross Health prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression and calls on all employees to provide unbiased, respectful, sensitive care to transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive patients and their families. Our network of care includes but is not limited to, offerings such as hormone therapy, mastectomy, breast augmentation,* orchiectomy, and hysterectomy.

When a service is not available at our location, care is transitioned to a provider within reasonable driving distance that offers the desired service. For example, providers are made aware that some sterilizing procedures, including some surgeries, are not performed at our facility, and in these instances, providers transition a patient’s care to other providers within a reasonable distance. 

We welcome inquiries from patients and providers about the wide range of transgender health care available at our facilities. We are deeply committed to providing high-quality, supportive, welcoming care, regardless of gender identity or expression.

**As a general principle, our Catholic facility does not perform sterilizing hysterectomies and orchiectomies on any patient regardless of gender identity or expression and cannot provide “top” surgery for transgender persons “at this time.
