We want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love, encouragement, and support from our community. The messages, visits, and kind words we have received mean more to us than we can adequately express. They reaffirm why we do this work and whom we do it for.
We are also sincerely thankful to Mayor Julia Silvina Arata Fratta and the City of Fitchburg, as well as the Fitchburg, Wisconsin - Police Department, for their steadfast support and swift response in addressing individuals who came to our space with the intent to intimidate and threaten. Their actions helped ensure the safety of our staff, patients, and neighbors, and demonstrated a clear commitment to protecting community members and local healthcare providers.
At Fitchburg Family Clinic and Fitchburg Family Pharmacy, we remain committed to providing compassionate, respectful, and inclusive care — including gender-affirming care — to all who seek our services. We are proud to stand with our patients and with a community that values dignity, safety, and healthcare rooted in respect.
Thank you for standing with us. We are stronger because of you.
