At the HEAT Program, we see you. We hear you. And we’re here for you.
For transgender and gender-diverse youth, finding healthcare that feels safe and affirming can be hard. Too often, stigma and lack of understanding create barriers that make it difficult to get the care you deserve. At HEAT, we’re changing that. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, gender-affirming care in a space where you can be your true self—without judgment.

Care Designed With You in Mind
Through our HEAT Clinic and programs like Project Harmony, we offer services built around the needs of LGBTQIA+ youth of color, with a special focus on supporting trans and nonbinary young people ages 13–29.
Here’s how we can support you:
✨ Gender-Affirming Healthcare
From hormone therapy to referrals for other transition-related services, our providers will work with you to create a care plan that honors your identity and goals.
✨ Mental Health Support
Your story matters. Whether you’re dealing with stress, navigating your identity, or just need someone to talk to, our counselors are here to listen and support you.
✨ HIV & STI Prevention and Care
We’ve got you covered with free and confidential testing, PrEP and PEP, treatment, and ongoing care—always in a safe and welcoming environment.
✨ Community & Connection
Sometimes, the best medicine is knowing you’re not alone. Project Harmony offers support groups, workshops, and events where you can connect with other LGBTQIA+ youth and build lifelong friendships.
A Place Where You Belong
At HEAT, you’re not just a patient—you’re family. We believe every young person deserves healthcare that affirms who they are and helps them thrive.
