New Transgender Health Clinic Opens in California
加州開設新的跨性別健康診所
On March 14, 2026, the Connie Norman Transgender Health Clinic officially opened its doors in Los Angeles, California.
2026年3月14日，康妮·諾曼跨性別健康診所（Connie Norman Transgender Health Clinic）在加州洛杉磯正式開幕。
Martel Ave, this new facility is housed within the Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center (CONOTEC).
Martel Ave的新設施設於康妮·諾曼跨性別賦權中心（CONOTEC）內。
This trans-led initiative, supported by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and FLUX, offers comprehensive services including primary care, hormone therapy, and HIV/STI testing in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
這項由跨性別者主導的計畫，在愛滋病醫療基金會（AIDS Healthcare Foundation）與FLUX的支持下，於安全且不帶偏見的環境中提供包含基層醫療、荷爾蒙治療以及愛滋病/性病篩檢的綜合服務。
However, it also highlights a broader struggle in California.
儘管加州透過《TGI包容性護理法案》（TGI Inclusive Care Act）等法律在保護性別肯認醫療方面位居全國領導地位，但近期壓力已導致數間大型醫院暫停對未成年人提供特定服務。
While the state is a national leader in protecting gender-affirming care through laws like the TGI Inclusive Care Act, recent pressure has caused several large hospitals to pause certain services for minors.
這造成了醫療資源的「爭奪（ㄔㄤˇ）」，使得像康妮·諾曼診所這樣的專責設施變得不可或缺。
Amid fears of federal policy shifts affecting Medicaid funding, advocacy groups are now calling for a $26 million state investment to stabilize the provider network.
加州依然是跨性別健康的避風港，在堅實的法律保障與確保全民皆能獲得穩定、便利的醫療需求之間尋求平衡。
California remains a sanctuary for transgender health, balancing strong legal protections with the urgent need to secure consistent, accessible care for all.
