In Part 3 of our series on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), we are joined by healthcare thought leader Jake Starratt-Farr - a social worker, counsellor, and member of CMA's Patient Voice - to explore how well our health system serves and supports those who don't identify as cisgender and those who identify as transgender. Tune in as we continue our series on EDI, one of the most important topics in Canada, around the world, and in healthcare.

As a trans person, he is dedicated to supporting trans and gender-expansive individuals and is passionate about helping health care providers better understand the unique health needs of the 2SLGBTQI community. As a member of CMA’s Patient Voice, Jake advocates for timely and equitable access to transgender care.
