“I have never in my life felt so safe and supported in any medical setting. Every decision is supported, providers are a wealth of knowledge and resources, and my whole queer family was able to show up as our authentic selves. BCC is a making magic every day, and a model of how radical welcome and kindness can look in real life. Could not recommend more highly!” - Lizzy Appleby
