Directory

July 2009

Compiled by Kelly White, editor
Under the direction of Pauline Park, excutive editor

With designs for both front and back covers by
Dennis Yuen of Litchinut
and printing by Bargain Printing

The New York Association for Gender Rights Advocacy‘s work on health care access builds on our work in leading the campaign for the New York City transgender rights law (Int. No. 24, enacted as Local Law 3 of 2002 by the New York City Council), which prohibits discrimination based on gender identity or expression in health care and social services as well as in employment, housing and public accommodations.

We look forward to hearing back from users of the directory about the providers in it as well as providers who are not listed but who they think should be. You can provide feedback and input on the directory and the providers listed in it by calling the NYAGRA office at (212) 675-3288 or by e-mailing paulinepark@earthlink.net. There are many people to thank for their help in putting together this directory:

Kelly White, who compiled the directory as NYAGRA’s 2009 summer intern. She did the work of pulling together names of providers and working with our designer and our printer under tight deadlines and carried out responsibilities far greater than those borne by most summer interns. Kelly joined NYAGRA as part of a paid summer internship through the Cornell Urban Scholars Program (CUSP), without whose support this project would not have been possible;
Sarah Smith, CUSP program coordinator; John Nettleton, CUSP executive director; and Ann Forsyth, CUSP campus director;
Queens Pride House (a center for the LGBT communities of Queens), which housed Kelly during her summer internship;
The Latino Commission on AIDS, which has housed NYAGRA and provided ongoing infrastructural support to the organization since 2002;
Dennis Yuen of the Litchinut design studio, who worked under a very tight deadline to put together wonderful designs for the front and back covers;
Bargain Printing for efficiency and attention to detail;
And last but not least, the members of the transgender community of New York, who inspired us to do this work and who continue to inspire us to work towards the day when everyone can access safe, affordable, sensitive, high-quality health care, regardless of their gender identity or expression.
