In 1978 Legacy was borne out of a community need for confidential, nonjudgmental and compassionate healthcare for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders (GLBT). Throughout the years, Legacy has grown from a volunteer-run STD clinic to a community health center with an array of healthcare services.

At Legacy, you can access the highest quality of care in a welcoming environment. Because of our history serving people that are vulnerable to discrimination, we continue to observe the strictest level of confidentiality while always striving to create an atmosphere of trust and respect. Our staff understands your needs and provides services in a nonjudgmental and compassionate manner.
