Bridgercare must do better. For decades, we have prided ourselves in ensuring that the clinic is a safe, inclusive space for all patients.

The increased awareness and accessibility of these services would not have been possible without the support of the Pride Foundation and people like YOU. Recently, we were reminded of why your support of these services is so critically important in [...]
