We developed this program after our research identified unmet needs among gay, bisexual, transgender and other patients from sexual minorities. We continue to research healthcare needs, disparities and outcomes for gay and bisexual men, and use those findings to provide comprehensive care uniquely designed for our patients. We also offer education, community engagement and advocacy.

Our goals include:

• Trust and affirmation. Our practice includes and affirms all patients. This is a place where patients can feel comfortable speaking about their sexual and urologic health.
• Research. We conduct research to uncover how certain urologic conditions and therapies affect gay and bisexual men. This knowledge empowers physicians and patients to make informed treatment decisions.
• Education. We develop and use educational resources that are relevant for our patients.

We welcome all gay and bisexual patients who were assigned male at birth; identify as male, or are gender-nonconforming or nonbinary; and need urology care. If you are looking for gender-affirming care, such as hormone therapy, voice therapy and various surgeries, please visit the Northwestern Medicine Gender Pathways Program.
