What is Gender Health Center?
Gender Health Center is a non-profit at 3823 V Street, Sacramento, CA 95817, serving transgender, non-binary and gender expansive people. Most of its work is community care: counseling, support groups, legal assistance, case management and resource referrals. Its medical care runs through a clinic that is a partner of the UC Davis School of Medicine. UC Davis medical students, family nurse practitioner and physician assistant students, family medicine residents and attending physicians see patients there. The students work under licensed family practitioners, and all of them serve on a voluntary basis. The clinic holds a 2026 Bronze Rating from the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics Quality Standards Program.
Its listed services are gender-affirming hormone therapy, PrEP, HIV and STI testing, letter assessments for gender-affirming care, counseling, support groups and hair removal. In its own words: "We provide personalized, gender-affirming hormone therapy tailored to your individual goals and health needs." No prescriber is named for hormone therapy. The medical clinic runs only on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, 6:00 to 9:00 PM, by appointment only. The organization is not a medical facility and does not provide primary care. Google lists it as a mental health clinic, with a 4.3 rating from 43 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, PrEP or medical visits, and it lists no consultation fee. Nothing published says whether medication is included in any fee. The medical clinic is described as a free and charitable clinic, and its HIV screenings are free. The organization describes many of its services as free or low-cost, but that is not a price for hormone therapy. It primarily serves uninsured or underinsured community members, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, including any lab work.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who would sign your hormone prescription, since no prescriber is named, and who reviews your care after the first visit. Ask whether medication is included in any fee, and whether the hormones are brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab work is required, how often follow-up visits happen, and what each one costs.
Ask about the wait. New patients may wait two to three months for a first appointment, so ask whether you can be placed on a list and what to do in the meantime. The organization does not provide primary care, but its Community Support Services team can help connect people with affirming primary care providers while they wait. The organization does not say whether medical visits can be done by video or phone, though counseling does offer virtual appointments. Finally, ask how to cancel or reschedule, and whether a missed visit is charged.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are uninsured or underinsured, can attend a 6:00 PM appointment on the 1st or 3rd Wednesday of the month, and can wait a few months for a first medical visit. If you need prescriptions sooner, or a clinic that handles all of your primary care, plan for another option alongside it.
