As an out member of the LGBTQ community, Dr. Jennifer Flo understands LGBTQ health care is a major struggle within our community. She is alarmed at recent news concerning medical mistreatment of the LGBTQ community, especially our elders, and plans for laws to keep the community from receiving proper care.
She believes a major part of health care is letting the patient talk. "As a physician I learn so much on individual choices whether is it diet, shoes, or even style choices." Dr. Flo remarks, "I also have access to resources for those who prefer to wear shoes other than the social norm or gender. If you are a 6' 220lbs individual who wants to wear high heels to the 5'4" person who desires a more "masculine" shoe I am here to offer suggestions. Transgender and gender non-conforming people, who face an exceptional degree of bias and discrimination in healthcare, I want them to feel comfortable in their own shoes. We expect our feet to be uncomfortable at times, and we needlessly put up with the pain when they hurt. Our feet are wondrously engineered and often the indicators of our overall health, so we need to look after them. Healthy feet are the foundation to our independence."
