Please note: While Manitoba is at Critical level (red) on the Pandemic Response System Klinic Community Health is reducing services to only those that are deemed essential. As a result access to this service may be impacted. More information is available on our COVID-19 Services Page.
Trans Health Klinic is running as usual. However, many appointments have been moved to virtual/telephone.
About Us
Team Approach
- As a health care team, we will work with you to help you achieve your transition needs
- The Trans Health Klinic provides consultation, medical, and psychosocial supports for Transgender clients
- Our care is tailored based on your need
Specialty Clinic
- We provide care to Trans individuals 16 years of age and older seeking transitioning care (hormone start and surgery)
- We provide care to all individuals who fall under the Transgender and/or Non-binary umbrella: inclusive of Two-spirit, Agender, Bigender, Genderqueer, Gender fluid, and more. All are welcome!
- Once you reach your transition needs, we will transfer care to your primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner). Your primary care provider will continue to prescribe and adjust your hormone therapy, and they can do this while you are seeing us for care as well
- We DO NOT provide primary care, urgent care, or emergency care.
- For example, if you have a sore throat or need medical disability forms, we would ask you to see your family doctor or nurse practitioner
- If you have an urgent or emergent concern, we would ask you to go to urgent care or emergency care
- We require our clients to have a primary care provider, for example a Nurse Practitioner or Doctor.
- If you do not have a primary care provider, please contact:
Family Doctor Finder- Phone: 204-786-7111 or Toll free: 1-866-690-8260

Teaching Clinic
• At times, student health providers may provide patient care under the supervision of Trans Health program’s health care providers
• We will always ask your permission before you are seen by a health care learner. If you are uncomfortable with being seen by a student, please let us know. We will respect your decision, no questions asked
• If your primary care provider needs support and guidance in terms of hormone prescribing and primary care services (eg: pap test, prostate exam, breast exam, etc.), they can send an e-consult or letter to a TH medical practitioner
