What this bill would do

The bill is called the Transgender Health Care Access Act and aims to improve access to health care for transgender people. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide grants to medical schools, health care sites, and other organizations. These grants will be used to develop new curricula and training programs focused on gender-affirming care and cultural competency. The bill also supports expanding care capacity at community health centers and training rural health care providers. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress within two years detailing the progress of these programs.
