Affirming Care for your Community
Inclusive, barrier-free healthcare for LGBTQIA+ patients starts with you
Let’s face it: as medical providers, there’s a knowledge deficit when it comes to inclusive care for queer and gender-diverse patients. We weren’t equipped with tools or training to learn affirming language, proper pronoun use, or ensure screenings for all gender identities, and now, it can feel daunting.
You’re afraid to say the wrong thing.
You may not see the need in your practice.
You already know you’re an amazing provider.

Let me help you become an inclusive medical provider
As a medical provider, I understand, and I’m here to help. I’m Bridget Pitcock MSN, APRN, FNP-C, AAHIVS, also known as BP The Queer NP. I offer training, consulting, and advocacy that assists you and your team in caring for LGBTQIA+ patients – I provide digestible and approachable training on practices that center all identities and in turn, healthier, happier patients.
​As a queer person with over 15 years experience as an APRN and RN, my encounters as both a patient and provider – some wonderful, and some difficult – led me to the world of gender-affirming healthcare. I now give medical providers, office staff, and other industry personnel the tools to meet patients where they are, prevent healthcare disparities, and create equitable and safe environments for all.
"We are thankful for Bridget’s passion for her work and her willingness to share with us. They made the material easily digestible, and I feel that our leadership team learned sensitive and complex topics and had space to learn the deeper meanings without feelings of judgment or fear of making mistakes. I’d recommend Bridget’s educational program to any college, university or corporation."
