What's on your mind when it comes to transgender health care?

• Getting and maintaining insurance coverage?
  
• Finding the right surgeon?
  
• Learning how to be your own best health care advocate?
• Locating a doctor?
  

MTHC invites you to join with other community members for the first Trans Health Matters, an ongoing forum to discuss issues and concerns surrounding health care for ourselves and
for our communities.

Everyone is welcome: transgender, genderqueer, intersex, transsexual, M to F, F to M, crossdresser, partner, family, friend and ally. Be sure to come and bring a friend!

Allan Spear Forum, Featuring Gloria Reuben, on July 29

The Minnesota AIDS Project presents an annual Allan Spear Forum Series. The purpose of the series is to highlight leading voices in the fight to stop HIV and engage the community in a dialogue. The forums are free and open to the public. Our first speaker this year is Gloria Reuben, an actress and HIV advocate who is best known for playing an HIV positive character on ER. Please find attached a flyer for this forum.

Check out Gloria's official website. In particular, check out the first post on the blog link and two videos in the videos section. These will provide you with a greater understanding of Gloria's passion and commitment to HIV prevention and services.
