#YouAreEssential is thrilled to partner with Plume, the first health technology company built for the transgender community, to raise funds in support of Black transgender individuals around the country.
There are more than 1.4 million trans-identified people in the U.S.
yet it is still one of the most underserved communities when it comes to safe, accessible and reliable healthcare.
#YouAreEssential and Plume are working together to provide safe, expert, and affirming hormone replacement therapy through the convenience of a smartphone guided by a team that is mostly trans themselves.
Plume offers three core benefits to their members:
1. Quality:
We provide 1:1 consultations and monitoring provided by doctors with deep experience in gender affirming care, including our founder who is a trans medical provider.
2. Access
There is no months-long waiting list or lengthy back-and-forths to schedule a time to chat with your medical provider. Send us a message in-app, and we’ll respond to you in a timely manner.
3. Convenience
No more cross-town drives or waiting in the medical clinic. We handle your medications, lab monitoring, and letters of support.
Plume is currently available to nearly 50% of the trans population across CA, NY, FL, CO, TX, NC, VA, OR, MA and ME and is growing rapidly.
Plume is available to anybody 18 years or older who desires medical hormone therapy to feel more in line with their gender identity.
