Gender Affirming Care Hotline
EXCELLENCE IN CARE
In June 2023, OneWorld created the gender affirming care taskforce. The group is made up of clinicians, operations, nursing and administrative leaders who are dedicated to improving gender affirming care services at OneWorld. To help streamline care, the gender affirming care taskforce designated the OneWorld Teen and Young Adult Health Center West as the entry point for gender affirming care. The main number, (402) 769-7077, is also now the number for the new Gender Affirming Care Hotline. Associate Director of Nursing, Tania Murrell, said the staff are very knowledgeable and familiar with LGBTQIA2S+ health care and are excellent stewards for gender affirming care services. “I think this hotline is a small step toward building trust and eliminating the disparity that currently exists,” said Murrell. “We are trying to build a safe place where we can care for all people and show that we are knowledgeable and welcoming.” In addition to increasing access to care, the taskforce is committed to staying up to date with changes in legislation to ensure that patients can trust that OneWorld is providing safe care.
