Provides care to children and youth who are living with diabetes; who experience a gender identity that is different than their assigned sex; or who are experiencing issues with growth, puberty, or hormone production.
The BC Children’s Hospital’s endocrinology team provides care across several different clinics. These include:

  • Diabetes Day Program: Delivers education about diabetes, including education for newly diagnosed families
  • Gender Clinic: Supports the care needs of transgender and gender-questioning youth up until their 17th birthday. We offer diagnosis, readiness assessments, support with social and medical transitioning treatment, and education
