Randall Children's Gender Care Center
A supportive, caring environment for children and their loved ones
We remain committed to the best possible care of all our patients and that will never change. The Gender Care Center will continue providing the full range of gender care services, as we always have.
What does it mean to be transgender or gender diverse?
People who identify as transgender or gender diverse have an ongoing discomfort with the gender given to them at birth. Gender identity is one’s internal sense of being male, female, some of both or neither. If your child identifies as transgender or gender diverse, they may feel like their gender differs from their physical body.
Some children identify as transgender or gender diverse at a very young age, and others come to this realization around or after puberty. Not all transgender or gender diverse individuals desire medical intervention. Those that do, come to the Randall Children's Gender Care Center.
What to expect on your child's journey with us
Each gender journey is unique, but they all begin with us getting to know your child and your family. As you start along this path with your child, you will meet with a doctor and a behavioral health professional at the Randall Children's Gender Care Center. We may look at medical records and take some lab work or X-rays. All of this will help us to create a personalized path with you for your child’s journey.
