California Children's Hospital System Halts Some Youth Gender-Affirming Care

California's largest children's hospital system has announced it is ending specific gender-affirming care services for youth.

Service Discontinuation

Two hospitals within the system will discontinue hormone treatments for transgender youth.

The decision is attributed to pressures stemming from the Trump administration.

Industry-Wide Context

This move aligns with a broader trend observed over the past year, where numerous hospitals and clinics have reduced the scope of gender-affirming care they provide.
