Transgender patients worried that this will cut into health visits since virtual care is a preferred method of seeing their health care providers
Some Ontario doctors are concerned about a change in the Ontario health system that could limit how many patients get access to gender-affirming virtual health care.
The Connect-Clinic was established in 2019, before COVID happened and before virtual care became so widely accepted. The clinic said it currently has about 1,500 registered patients and roughly 2,000 more on the waitlist. Aspen Groom is the Sexual Health coordinator at Réseau. Groom said accessing any sort of gender-affirming care is difficult and added virtuial care it is not always the best solution.
"If the government is indicating by this decision that in-person appointments are better for patients, then they need to be providing more funding for gender-affirming care clinics, and to train more family doctors so that they feel empowered to offer these services," said Groom.
