TDOV on March 31st is a day to celebrate the joy and resilience of trans and non-binary communities here and around the world. Quest Center’s DEIJ team compiled some resources to share for staying up-to-date and informed, ways to be allies, and opportunities for engaging in activism that can stretch beyond a single day.

Thank you for standing alongside us as we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. We are so thrilled you are here with us as part of the Quest Community.

To demonstrate consideration of our clients, we at Quest Center want to let you know well in advance that we will be raising our self-pay and non-contracted fees for the first time in 5 years.

On September 15th, Quest had the pleasure of hosting a small Celebration event with a few of our long-time supporters.
