What specific problem is FOLX Health aiming to solve and what are the key use cases driving adoption of its services?

The LGBTQ+ community is large and growing - today we conservatively represent 10% of the population in the US and that number doubles among Gen Z. And, yet,  2021 was one of the worst years on record for anti-LGBTQ+ legislative attacks, the deadliest year for transgender and non-binary Americans, and the pandemic exposed material health disparities in our community. 

Our community is consistently dehumanized - when we play sports, go to the bathroom, love, and when we seek healthcare. More than 50% of us report experiencing discrimination in healthcare, 1 in 4 of us have had to educate our clinicians and many of us delay care because of these negative experiences, leading to worse outcomes. 

FOLX exists to meet the needs of our community and provide the expert care our community deserves. At a high level, we offer primary care, gender-affirming care, sexual and reproductive health care, and soon, mental health care, through a virtual vertically integrated LGBTQ+-specialized clinician network that we employ and operate. We also provide benefits navigation, care advocacy, content and community.
