LGBTQ+ Iris Clinic
The LGBTQ+ Iris Clinic at Complete Health specializes in care for our LGBTQ+ Youth. We also offer information and resources for both youth and their parents in the LGBTQ+ community. Finding a health provider who understands the unique challenges of our LGBTQ+ community can be difficult, but that’s why we’re here to help. View some of our resources below and call us to schedule an appointment for medical care or mental health services with one of our LGBTQ+ trained providers.
