Stand With Trans and IMD Health announce partnership to improve the quality of patient education

For immediate release

August 2, 2022 – Toronto, ON

Stand with Trans is pleased to announce an important new partnership with IMD Health. IMD Health is one of the largest digital health educational platforms in North America. IMD offers innovative technology that facilitates meaningful dialogue between healthcare professionals and patients inside the examination room, hospital bedsides, pharmacy consultations and during virtual consultations. IMD’s award-winning platform enables healthcare professionals to instantly access over 110,000 media-rich educational graphics, videos and resources during consults as well as by patients at home.

IMD curates medical diagrams, patient brochures, and educational videos from over 100 non-profit health organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers and puts them at the fingertips of healthcare professionals via an easy-to-use tool. Content is securely emailed to patients for later review, increasing patient understanding of their condition and treatment plan, ultimately improving their health outcomes. In addition, they host thousands of HCP-facing resources, including information about medications, clinical practice guidelines, and providing culturally competent care.

Stand With Trans’ resources are now available on IMD. IMD’s established healthcare provider network can send patients home with resource packages containing information on combatting gender and body dysphoria, toolkits, surgery preparation tips, parent guides, support groups, and more.

“We’re excited to partner with IMD Health in order to make resources for transgender youth and their families more accessible at a time when they may be feeling vulnerable in a clinical setting. We are pleased to be able to be a go-to for clinicians using the IMD Health portal and provide the next line of support that youth and families may need,” said Roz Keith, Executive Director of Stand with Trans.

Patients can self-educate and become active participants in their care with IMD’s patient site. Access medically vetted, reliable, and engaging resources from 100+ health associations, including Stand With Trans, Merck Manuals, Autoimmune Association, American Lyme Disease Foundation and more!
