New York Attorney General Letitia James ordered NYU Langone Hospital to resume providing gender-affirming care to transgender youth under the age of 19.[1][2] The hospital ended its Transgender Youth Health Program a week ago due to the current regulatory environment and the departure of the medical director.[1][2] The prosecutor's decision states that ending the program violates state anti-discrimination laws by jeopardizing access to medically necessary care for vulnerable patients.[1] The hospital is given until March 11 to demonstrate consent to the resumption of hormone therapy, puberty blockers and other care.[1] The move followed a proposal by the federal Department of Health to withdraw Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals providing such care to children.[1][3] NYU Langone declined to comment on the prosecutor's letter.[1][2] Other hospitals, such as Mount Sinai, have taken similar steps.[2]
