Program Manager, Transgender Family Program, Community Healthcare Network

I advocate for the transgender community because of the many barriers we face in accessing healthcare, legal aid, mental health, and social services. I believe everyone can learn to be more inclusive and support one another in building a more equitable society.

Born in El Salvador and a New Yorker for over 16 years, Denise Gutierrez is a fierce advocate for the transgender community. Her advocacy journey began in 2014, when she worked to empower Long Island’s trans community. Now the Program Manager of Community Healthcare Network’s Transgender Family Program, Denise has spent five years connecting TGNCNB people to the health care, legal services, and mental health support they need to thrive.

Her leadership is rooted in her commitment to inclusion, education, and fostering a supportive society for all.
