Collaborators
The G-ECHO team has collaborated with local providers on the ground in Hawai‘i from medical, behavioral health, community, and Native Hawaiian health organizations.
Our collaborators represent providers in the community who cross paths with gender diverse keiki. We work collaboratively to identify challenges and opportunities but also in an effort to bring the community together.
