Registration fees range from $75 to $250. Public health workers, community health workers, students, trainees and other allied care team members are also encouraged to attend.
The Community Track includes nine breakout sessions and is free to attend for transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse people and their loved ones, organizers said.

Founded in 2015, the Rhode Island Trans Health Conference was created by health care professionals and transgender community members to address gaps in provider education and to offer an affirming space for community learning and connection.
