Top New York hospital ends transgender youth health program citing regulatory challenges

NYU Langone cited regulatory challenges and a medical director's departure for ending care; the program served transgender minors across New York and Long Island.

  • NYU Langone Health has ended its Transgender Youth Health Program due to regulatory challenges and the departure of its medical director, but will continue pediatric mental health care programs.
  • Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, the NYCLU, and advocates like Elisa Crespo condemned the decision, emphasizing that gender-affirming care is lifesaving and improves mental health for transgender youth, with its removal leading to increased anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts.
  • U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated the federal government will oppose practices it deems unsafe or irreversible for children, linking this stance to the program's closure.
