LGBTQ Health Care Services

How One Doctor Ignited a Spark of Change

"We launched a clinic that provides LGBTQ+ health care at my UnityPoint Health practice in Cedar Falls. I wanted to re-design the care experience to be safer and more welcoming for everyone, including my son."

- Kyle P Christiason, MD
