Health Equity: Gender Affirming Care

LGBTQ+ Resources for Healthcare Providers

At McLaren Physician Partners we strive for health equity in our population health programs. Many payers such as BCBSM include health equity in their required programs. For example, the BCBSM capability 5.16 requires training and inclusive practice for the LGBTQ+ population.
