University of Michigan medical center halts gender-affirming care for patients under 19
The suspension follows a federal subpoena amid an investigation into possible abuse of authority by doctors prescribing gender-affirming treatments to minors, according to sources.
- The University of Michigan announced on August 25 it will no longer provide gender-affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blockers for patients under 19 following a federal subpoena.
- The decision was made in response to increasing external pressures and risks linked to an ongoing federal inquiry into the provision of gender-affirming treatments for individuals under 19.
- University of Michigan Health and other institutions received administrative subpoenas similar to those filed earlier this month against the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, demanding broad transgender care documents.
- Advocates like Equality Michigan expressed deep concern, stating this move sends a chilling message to vulnerable youth and leaves a significant gap in transgender health services in Michigan, one of two providers in the state.
- This suspension reflects increased federal pressure on transgender healthcare, likely worsening access for minors and prompting legal challenges and advocacy efforts to preserve care.
