Post-Surgery Care Kits
The Pride Center of Terre Haute recognizes the need within our community to provide a variety of resources for individuals who undergo a gender-affirming treatment or procedure.
Post-Surgery Care Kits
One of those resources is a post-surgery care kit, which will include a variety of supplies intended to help individuals heal after gender-affirming procedures/operations. Some of these items that may be included in the post-surgery care kits are:
