Family Tree Clinic

Family Tree is a change agent cleverly disguised as a sexual health and education center.

We believe our future is in community.  

Family Tree Clinic, founded in 1971, is a leading nonprofit community clinic providing sexual health care and education to more than 20,000 people annually. We believe health care is a human right, and this is why we serve a patient population unlike any other. 

At Family Tree we serve a broad range of people who are underserved and pushed to the margins by the traditional health care system. 

We provide lifesaving, life-changing care that celebrates each individual who comes through our doors.

OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES INCLUDE:

Sexual Health Medical Services: We provide affirming, intentional and human-centered medical care led by a team of interdisciplinary medical providers. Services include gender affirming hormone care, preventive sexual and reproductive health care, and more. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

Sexual Health Education Services: Family Tree Clinic’s Health Education programming helps participants feel comfortable with their bodies, confident in their knowledge, and powerful in their decision-making abilities. We reach thousands of people a year in this program, which is delivered in public schools, Hennepin and Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Centers, community settings, and more.  

Community Engagement: By meeting with communities that face disparities in access to health care, we can help center the narrative on the power and wisdom that already exists in community. Among the many programs our Community Engagement Department offers are Listening Sessions so our programs and services can directly address community need.

The Minnesota Family Planning & STD Hotline: We run the statewide sexual health hotline, sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Health. Highly trained hotline specialists respond to texts, chats and phone calls providing sexual health information, clinic referrals and resources to people across Minnesota.  

Systems Change: Family Tree supports systems change by training providers on inclusive sexual health care and hormone care protocols. We deliver experiential learning opportunities to the next generation of health care providers through partnerships with leading education institutions like the University of Minnesota Medical School, School of Nursing, and more. With our five-year Bush Community Innovation grant, we are training a network of providers in rural communities across the upper Midwest to offer care to trans and gender-expansive people in their home communities.
