Come join YPC for a discussion with UnityPoint Health Des Moines about UnityPoint Clinic's new LGBTQ Clinic at Methodist Plaza.

The LGBTQ clinic is the first of its kind in central Iowa and represents the desire of UnityPoint Health to meet the specific health care needs of the LGBTQ community in Central Iowa by providing a safe and affirming environment and overcome the stigma and discrimination that persons in the LGBTQ community often face. Its staff have undergone training through the Safe Zone Project to ensure patient care in a welcoming environment with a team who strives to deliver quality affirming care with dignity and sensitivity to all our patients.
