INTRODUCTION: Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals frequently encounter discrimination in health care settings. The Veterans Health Administration (VA) is committed to addressing the health disparities experienced by TGD veterans. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of TGD veterans with LGBTQ+ veteran care coordinators. METHODS: The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with TGD veterans with depression between January and March 2022. Participants were recruited with assistance from the VA's network of LGBTQ+ veteran care coordinators. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-six TGD veterans participated in the study, with a range of experiences, both positive and negative, with LGBTQ+ veteran care coordinators. Veterans spoke of the role of coordinators in educating both patients and clinicians about TGD health care needs. Participants who expressed dissatisfaction with their coordinators highlighted the need for a clearer definition and communication of coordinator duties. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the important roles played by the VA LGBTQ+ care coordinators in addressing the needs of TGD veterans. The study also points to an immense need for clinician education in TGD care. Further training and education are recommended to improve equitable care for TGD veterans.
