She cares about serving transgender and gender nonconforming members because “I believe that it is essential to support people in living in their authentic gender identities, including being able to access gender-affirming medical and mental health care; I want to do my part to reduce health disparities; I believe that patients should be able to exercise self-determination under an informed consent model of gender-affirming care.”

Conrad Wenzel (pronouns-he/him/his) is a medical social worker within the Multi-Specialty Transitions Department (MST) at Kaiser Permanente. He works in transgender / non-binary health care because “I want to provide affirming, empowering, and restorative experiences of health care for transgender and non-binary patients” and “I believe patients should be able to exercise self-determination under an informed consent model of gender-affirming care.”
