HHS Agency Tells Hospital Providers To Protect Children From Irreversible Trans Procedures

WASHINGTON—The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is reminding hospital providers that they have an obligation to protect children from irreversible transgender procedures, the agency said in a press release on Wednesday.

Following on the heels of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at protecting children from such procedures, CMS is alerting hospital providers of “serious quality and safety concerns associated with harmful, medical interventions for gender dysphoria.”
