Welcome to the Queer + Trans 
Health Collective

The Queer & Trans Health Collective (QTHC) is an Edmonton-based, grassroots health organization run by and for queer and trans community members.

We empower queer and trans wellbeing by providing and promoting equitable access to health education, support, capacity building, community-based research, and provider training.
