The CFPC recognizes the importance of offering sensitive, gender-affirming care to people in 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Many people from these communities face significant barriers when accessing primary care.

More than one million people in Canada identify as 2SLGBTQ+. It’s likely every family physician cares for one or more 2SLGBTQ+ patients in their practice. It’s important for family doctors to have easy access to appropriate resources to address the unique health needs of people in these communities.

CFPC Pride was launched in 2022 by the 2SLGBTQ+ Health Member Interest Group to:
  • Support family doctors in providing care to 2SLGBTQ+ communities
  • Highlight the incredible work of family doctors to build and strengthen the health of 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada
  • Raise awareness of the inequities and barriers that people in the 2SLGBTQ+ communities face in accessing and receiving primary health care
  • Celebrate the 2SLGBTQ+ family medicine community across Canada and within the CFPC

CFPC Pride

The CFPC is committed to improving the health of 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada and supporting family doctors caring for people in these communities.
