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.
