Services
The 2SLGBTQ+ community requires sexual health care that is sensitive to their particular needs. OOHC offers sexual health services mainly through our frequent Sexual Health Clinic.
We also believe that all our patients deserve access to these health services, regardless of their pay for those not covered by Manitoba Health. For this reason, OOHC’s charitable arm can assist with payment. If you think that it’s important for us to offer these free services to the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and have the financial means to support us, please consider a donation to our registered charity.
