Pop-up Reproductive
Health Clinics

We’re partnering with our friends at AHS Sexual & Reproductive Health to increase the availability of affirming reproductive health to trans and gender diverse folks. These pop-up clinics are private, afterhours events, exclusively for the Two-Spirit, trans and gender diverse community and by registration only.

These clinics are offered at the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre and staffed by affirming healthcare professionals. The Skipping Stone team is also always on site to help provide support, and bring alone some snacks, games and more to help ease anxieties and add in some fun.

FAQs

• Where in the Sheldon Chumir is the clinic located?
When you arrive at the Chumir, enter at the Urgent Care side (west side), and then come up to the 5th floor and look for the Skipping Stone banner and team member who will help you get all checked in and directed to the right place.
If security greets you, tell them you have an appointment upstairs.

• What can I expect around language use and having to provide ID?
All staff members will ask your name and pronouns first and use those regardless of what appears on your Alberta Healthcare Card. This can be included on profile/chart as well. You’ll be asked to complete an “organ inventory” so the staff know what your needs are, but there is never an assumed connection between what appears on the inventory and your identity.

• If I’m on testosterone, is there anything else I should consider to make my appointment more comfortable?
For people on testosterone, dryness can make pelvic exams uncomfortable. If this is a concern, please reach out 2 weeks prior to your appointment and doctors can discuss a short-term cream to help reduce discomfort.

• If I’m looking to get an Intrauterine Device (IUD) do I need to do anything additional?
If you want to get an IUD, please reach out 1 week prior to your appointment to confirm.
