Connecting our LGBTQ+ community
At HOPES, we welcome all members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community. We support the LGBTQ+ community by providing judgement-free healthcare, social services, and community outreach and education. Together, we can create a strong, cohesive LGBTQ+ network that connects people, solves problems, and builds a healthier Reno community.
LGBTQ+ Friendly Services
- LGBTQ Healthcare
- Free HIV and Hepatitis C Testing
- Behavioral Health Counseling
- Gender and Sexual Health Care clinic
At HOPES, we provide judgment-free healthcare services for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and queer individuals in our community. We believe that everyone should have access to quality healthcare in a safe and supportive environment.
We offer fast, free, confidential HIV and hepatitis C testing. Both tests involve a simple finger stick that tests for antibodies in the blood, and results are ready in 15-20 minutes.
Our Wellness Clinic offers integrated behavioral health counseling, including individual counseling, couples counseling, and substance use counseling.
Our Gender and Sexual Health Care clinic helps assist patients and clients by providing them the resources they need most, wherever they are at in their journey. These are resources above and beyond normal care offered at HOPES. Some examples include prescription co-pays, hormone replacement therapy (only to patients 18+), voice coaching, group therapy/classes, chest binders, clothing, make-up, hair styling, hair removal/electrolysis and more.
Give OUT Day
HOPES is a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Many staff and supporters identify as LGBTQ+. We connect our patients to the services and support they need, including onsite support groups, resources, medical care and of course, connection to community. We live by our values which include Kindness, Dignity, Inclusion, Creativity and Adaptability. HOPES proudly participates in the national day of giving for the LGBTQ Community. In 2021, we raised $46,500 to benefit the patients of HOPES. Join our 2022 campaign or participate in some of our events
