prideHealth works to improve access to health services that are safe, coordinated, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate for people who are two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual (members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community). prideHealth is a partnership between the NSH and IWK Health.
The prideHealth navigator works with individuals and groups to help members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community connect with services within the health system (such as sexually transmitted and blood borne infections), testing, and services related to gender transition, and resources in the community such as peer supports, social groups, and advocacy.
prideHealth provides the following services:
- Navigation through the health system
- Workshops and learning opportunities on 2SLGBTQIA+ health
- 2SLGBTQIA+ cultural competency training for health professionals and family practices
- General health and wellness information
- Sexual health information
- Referrals for addictions, mental health, and other health services
- Information and referrals for trans and gender affirming care
Gender-neutral bathrooms are available throughout the facility. Look out for these marked bathrooms with gender-neutral signage.
