I have gotten the most compassionate, invested, and supportive health care I have ever received in my 30+ years through HIPS. I truly have never had medical professionals go to bat this hard for my health, development, and overall well-being, especially as a gender non-conforming person. They would drop everything to fight insurance companies for me, provided non-judgemental care and guidance, and are truly invested in my success. I am eternally grateful to all that HIPS has done to make my transition process smoother and to make me feel like I am truly being cared for.
