Denver (KDVR) – Hospitals across the country Stop the Administration of Cares affirmed by the sexes after President Donald Trump published a decree aimed at reducing federal support for this care.
Denver Health is one of this break in break, which takes a break break for LGBTQ + people under 19.
“We recognize that this order will have an impact on young people in sex diving, including an increased risk of depression, anxiety and suicidality,” wrote the hospital on Thursday. “We understand that respect for the order began on January 28, 2025. We are working to understand and respect the full implications of the largely written order. Advice on changes to medical care is treated in private so that we can better support our patients and their families. »»
Trump’s order, Signed Tuesdayis part of a push to reverse the administration policies of Biden intended to protect transgender people and their care. He ordered agencies to take measures to ensure that hospitals receiving federal research and education subsidies “put an end to the chemical and surgical mutilation of children”.
Some hospitals have told the Associated Press that their current practices would continue. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago said that hospital officials examine order and “assess any potential impact on the clinical services we offer to our patient families”.
“Our team will continue to plead for access to medically necessary care, based on science and compassion for the families of patients, we have so much the privilege of serving,” said the press release.
Language in Trump’s executive order – using words such as “mutiming”, “sterilization” and “mutilation” – contradicts what is typical of the sexes in the United States. He also labeling the advice of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health as “undesirable science”.
WPath said in a statement that restrictions and prohibitions “access to medical care necessary for young transgender people are harmful to patients and their families”.
The prescription indicates that the United States will not finance, will not sponsor, promote, do not support or not support “the so-called” transition “from one child to sex to another.” He also threatens to apply laws that prohibit or limit sexes for sex. The order continues to specifically discuss puberty blockers, which are used to delay the appearance or progression of puberty, in addition to estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and androgens blockers.
Denver Health noted that part of the funding he would risk losing if it does not respect the Medicare, Medicaid programs and other housing and social services services.
“These programs represent an important part of the financing of Denver Health, and the executive decree specifically stipulates that if we have not remained, our participation in these programs is in danger,” said the hospital system. “The loss of this funding criticized our ability to provide care for the Denver community.”
The hospital system said it was “proud to be one of a very small number of full care service providers” who include services for LGBTQ + customers and gender diversions.
“While we sail in the requirements of the order, we will continue to provide primary and behavioral health care to all young people affected and work to maintain the level of confidence that we have built with the LGBTQ +community,” said Denver Health. “We encourage all patients to continue their behavioral primary care and health care visits and discuss changes in medical care with their doctor if necessary.”
Medical care affirming sex for transgender young people is not common. A new study shows that less than 1 American adolescents out of 1,000 with commercial insurance has received blockers or puberty hormones during a recent five -year period, and most of the surgeries affirming the sexes are not carried out on young people.
