An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

BMC aims to provide accessible, individualized, and comprehensive gender-affirming care for our patients. We perform a wide range of gender-affirming surgeries, including:

  • Orchiectomy, in which the testicles are removed from the scrotum
  • Neovaginoplasty, in which the skin of the penis is used to create a new vagina
  • Genital remodeling, in which surgeons create external female genitalia but not a vaginal cavity
  • Breast augmentation, in which breast implants are used to improve breast shape and volume
  • Chest reconstruction, in which breast tissue and excess chest wall skin are removed, and the nipples are repositioned
  • Hysterectomy, in which the uterus and cervix are removed

Criteria for gender-affirming surgery are based on the WPATH Standards of Care 8, insurance requirements, and our surgical team.
