LGBTQ+ Healthcare

The Project believes health care should be holistic and acknowledge the unique needs faced by LGBTQ+ people.

Primary Care

A primary care provider works in close collaboration with their patient to improve and maintain overall health. Whether it's a physical, gynecological care, or a sinus infection - a PCP can cover it all.

What’s different about The Project is our PCP specializes in the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. We know that LGBTQ+ people have unique health concerns and risks that need addressed. And unfortunately, they are often ignored in conventional primary care environments.

That isn't the case with The Project. We promise to treat you as a person, and to adopt an approach to your health care that keeps in mind every beautiful aspect of your identity.

Gender-Affirming Care

The Project knows that gender affirming care is lifesaving care. That’s why we’re proud to serve both adults and youth at our Illinois-based clinic.

What is gender affirming care?

Gender-affirming care (GAC) is a range of healthcare services (medical, social, psychological, and behavioral) interventions that support people to live authentically as their gender identity. Every person is unique, so GAC can look different for from one person to another and change over time.
