Come As You Are.
We are here to provide comprehensive healthcare to people who have traditionally been unserved and marginalized based on gender. We are a place where all women, trans, and non-binary individuals can feel welcome, safe, and respected regardless of their race, ethnicity, presentation, or sexual orientation.
At CAYA Health Centre, all women, trans and nonbinary people are our priority, recognizing that these clients are typically underserved and face undue barriers to health care. However, everyone is welcome and no one will be turned away due to their gender identity.

Our
Story
Women, racialized people, and individuals in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community experience an overall lower quality of healthcare, less access to services, and worse health outcomes than the general population. While there are practitioners working to combat these problems within the health system, the responsibility has traditionally been on the clients and patients to seek and find these allies within the system. We are here to listen, support, and hope to fill the healthcare gap by offering well-rounded services in one place.
