Elliot Page — an Oscar-nominated actor and New York Times bestselling author for his memoir “Pageboy” — is headed to Western Massachusetts next month to benefit a local transgender healthcare organization.

Transhealth — a local medical group that offers primary care and gender-affirming hormonal care — is hosting a “fireside chat” in Northampton with Page for the healthcare center’s third anniversary. The benefit will feature conversation with Page, who came out as trans in 2020.

“It is an honor of a lifetime to bring Elliot Page to celebrate Transhealth with us,” Transhealth CEO and President Dallas Ducar said. “This vital event will raise crucial funds for Transhealth while also shining a light on how our journeys can ripple outward to change the world for good.”
