1 week ago3 Hospitals Under Investigation for Providing Gender-Affirming Care to Youth
Health and Human Services (HHS) General Counsel Mike Stuart has referred three children's hospitals to the agency's inspector general's office: Seattle Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, and Children's Minnesota. Gender-affirming care for trans youth is legal in all three states. But HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month announced that medical practitioners who provide gender-affirming care to minors are out of compliance with federal health care standards. Now, the agency is enforcing that declaration.
