Transgender Health Care Access Act

This bill would create federal grant programs to train health care workers in gender-affirming care, which it defines as health care to treat gender dysphoria, not including conversion therapy. The Department of Health and Human Services would fund medical schools and training sites to develop and share model curricula, and would run a demonstration program to train residents, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other providers. It would also fund community health centers to expand their capacity to provide this care and fund networks to train rural providers. The bill authorizes $45 million per year from 2026 through 2030 across these programs and requires a report to Congress within 2 years.
