DOJ Secures Agreements with NYU and UPMC to End Pediatric "Gender-Affirming Care"
WASHINGTON - Today, the Department of Justice announced agreements with two of the nation's largest health care systems-New York University Langone Hospitals ("NYU") and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ("UPMC")-that resolve investigations into potential violations of federal law arising from their provision of sex-rejecting procedures on children, often euphemistically referred to as "gender-affirming care." Under the agreements, NYU and UPMC will cease providing these dangerous interventions to minors, which include administering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and performing surgical procedures. Each hospital will also pay a monetary amount as part of the resolutions, with NYU agreeing to pay $8.5 million and UPMC $950,000.
