Program Description
About this event:
A two-for-one special!
Planned Parenthood will start off with an overview of their services. From their gender-affirming care options that they have on site to outside recommendations, they have all the information you need to develop your identity.
Then, Alternatives Credit Union will present on their Gender-Affirming Care Loan options they have! While medical care can be expensive and intimidating, Alternatives is ready to support you and assist with getting you the care you need.
