President Trump signed an executive order aimed at curbing gender-related medical treatments for minors, prompting hospitals nationwide to downsize or suspend their programs. The administration asserts the action protects children from harmful procedures.
Hospitals including NYU Langone, Denver Health, and Children’s National Hospital have begun canceling appointments, suspending surgeries, and pausing hormone treatments for minors. Health systems in Virginia, Illinois, and Pennsylvania are also reassessing their services.
The White House emphasized that these measures reflect Trump’s commitment to protecting children from irreversible medical interventions.
