What does it take to make culturally affirming care the standard, rather than the exception? At Kyndred, the answer begins long before a patient enters the exam room. Through the Togather ALI™ approach, we’re building a clinical culture rooted in anti-racism, liberation, and intersectionality, where shared values become shared practices, accountability is ongoing, and the humanity of Black women is central to every care experience.

For many Black women, navigating healthcare has become work of its own: chasing results, following up on referrals, calling the pharmacy again. The Healthcare Homegirl was built into Kyndred’s care model with that reality in mind, staying with you between visits and helping carry the work that comes after the appointment.

STI testing and pregnancy prevention matter, but they are only part of sexual wellness. Pleasure, comfort, desire, autonomy, and feeling at home in your body belong in the conversation too. We’re taking a wider look at what sexual wellness can mean for Black women, and what care looks like when it makes room for all of it.
