NEW YORK – In a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by prominent local politicians and community leaders, The Asian and Pacific Islanders Coalition on HIV/AIDS (APICHA), one of New York’s most progressive community health centers, has opened a transgender clinic. The groundbreaking APICHA Transgender Clinic, made possible by a generous three-year grant from the Paul Rapoport Foundation, provides comprehensive medical services including the initiation and maintenance of hormone therapy along with mental and social support services designed to accommodate the distinct needs of transgender individuals with particular focus on communities of color. Throughout its existence and evolution, APICHA has advocated for and provided the finest range of medical care services to the LGBT community who routinely encounter discrimination and stigma in traditional health care settings.
Founded in 1989, APICHA provides comprehensive primary care and other medical services including mental health, STD and hepatitis and supportive services targeted to Asian and Pacific Islanders, the LGBT community and other individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
