(New York, New York) – NYU Langone Health has shut down its program providing gender-affirming care for minors, according to sources familiar with the decision.
The Manhattan-based hospital system had offered services that included medical and psychological support for transgender and gender-diverse youth. The program’s closure marks a significant shift for one of New York City’s largest and most prominent healthcare providers.
It is not immediately clear what prompted the move or whether patients currently receiving care will be transferred to other providers. NYU Langone has not publicly detailed whether the suspension is temporary or permanent.
The decision comes amid ongoing national debates and legal battles over access to gender-affirming medical treatment for minors. Several states have enacted restrictions in recent years, while others have expanded protections for transgender healthcare access.
Hospital officials have not yet issued a full public statement explaining the scope or reasoning behind the shutdown.
