Health 2049: Dr. Jerrica Kirkley, Co-Founder, Plume

Jason Helgerson co-hosts the Health 2049 podcast with Bisi Williams of the Massive Change Network.

Dr. Jerrica Kirkley challenges the legacy systems of one-size-fits-all healthcare, envisioning an approach to care that is community and identity-centered, to address the needs of the trans community and increase access to gender-affirming medical care.

Jerrica is a queer trans woman, doctor, and startup founder based in Denver, Colorado. With her co-founder Dr. Matthew Wetschler, she started Plume, an app-based gender-affirming care service for trans folks, to increase access to gender-affirming medical care across the country. She hopes to use her platform to not only provide much-needed medical services but to transform the way the world thinks about healthcare and gender.
