About us

The mission of Lyon-Martin Community Health Services is to provide compassionate and trauma-informed medical, gynecological, and mental health care services to trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) communities and cis-gender women with sensitivity to LGBQA sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, and language regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. Founded in 1979, by a group of medical providers and health activists as a clinic for lesbians who lacked access to nonjudgmental, affordable health care, the clinic soon became a model for culturally sensitive community-based health care. The clinic was named after Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, feminists and well-known LGBTQ civil rights activists.

  • Help Lyon-Martin secure its forever home, for generations to come. 🌈✨🌱 225 Valencia St. is a beautiful, stand-alone, 3-level building that will more than double our space to 17,000 square feet. Just blocks from our current and previous locations in the historic Lesbian Corridor & American Indian Cultural District in the Mission, this building was formerly the American Indian Cultural Center. We are excited about the possibility of reclaiming this space for our LBTQIA BIPOC communities and combating further gentrification in the area. Lyon-Martin has a unique opportunity to secure financing for construction, but we need your help to reach our $2M fundraising goal by the end of June! We are 85% there – help us cross the finish line! Donate today and be part of this historic moment! 🌈✨ Visit www.savelyonmartin.com for more info
