RCHW is very proud to offer a variety of services including contraceptives (such as OPill, condoms, and lubricants) s*xual wellness services (like HIV/STI testing, pregnancy tests, and PlanB), counseling, and other forms of support for our diverse array of community members.

It can feel like a bad joke having to advocate for yourself with medical providers, like there are super secret passwords or phrases to access the care you need... That's where RCHW comes in 😎

We're here to help you manage your healthcare by offering documentation support for pharmacies or other offices, and advocating on your behalf. We have your back!

We are honored to serve our community by providing inclusive and affirming behavioral health services, community health work, s*xual health services and various support groups.

I would like to thank all of the organizations that joined us at Rainbow Cafe LGBTQ Center and our clinic to connect with local resources. I am so grateful for my amazing staff, who use their unique experiences and perspectives to enhance the services we provide, and a special thanks to the Community Center Manager, Niky, for coordinating this event. It was so nice to spend time with many of our partner organizations, see familiar faces, and to meet new folx in the community.

We need each other now, more than ever.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

With care,
Alex, Clinical Director at RCHW

Check out our new Resource Spotlight, featuring Opill!

Thanks to Opill's commitment to health equity, we were awarded a product donation to provide Opill for FREE at our clinic!
Opill is available at RCHW during our office hours Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, AND at the Trans Resource Fair on Tuesday, March 31st 3-7pm!

We are so excited to offer Opill in our community - Opill is the first FDA-approved OTC daily oral contraceptive! As a small nonprofit, Opill makes an amazing addition to our other s*xual health resources, such as HIV & STI testing and prevention education counseling, and s*xual health supplies. Having Opill at our clinic also helps reduce access barriers by removing the need for a doctor's appointment, prescription and wait time.

As a progestin-only pill (POP), it does not contain estrogen, meaning it will not interact with testosterone therapy or interfere with masculinization. It is an effective option for preventing unintended pregnancy, which is still possible while on testosterone.
-No Interaction: Progestin-only methods like Opill do not hinder the effects of testosterone.
-Safety: Opill is safe to use with gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT).
-Added Benefits: Progestin-only pills can help further reduce or stop menstrual bleeding, which is often desirable, though they may occasionally cause spotting.
-Pregnancy Risk: Testosterone does not reliably stop ovulation; therefore, if you have a uterus and are having penetrative s*x, birth control is necessary.

Thank you, Opill OTC!😊👏🌟💕
