Planned Parenthood Offering Transgender Health Services in 2 Hudson Valley Cities

 
By Candace Dunkley 

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Transgender people living in the Mid-Hudson Valley have traveled long distances for medical support related to their transition, but by launching a transgender service program Monday at its Kingston and Poughkeepsie centers, Planned Parenthood is looking to offer some of those medical services closer to home.

Angelina Vail-Bouros, Mid-Hudson Valley Transgender Association chairwoman, said she has to go to New York City for her treatment and it gets expensive.

"Driving between the gas and the tolls, you've got to take a day off of work, so it can incur quite a bit of money so having local services in the area, takes a lot of the impact away from the person, takes a lot of that stress away," Vail-Bouros said.
