Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, CA has announced it will no longer conduct “gender affirming care” for children. They stated. “…these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. This was a very difficult decision, made to ensure we can continue serving all children and families across the communities we serve.”
Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, WA has also announced it will be closing down its gender care clinic, stating, “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make. We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”
For those who haven’t noticed, BOTH hospitals expressed regret they could not continue to offer children life-altering chemicals, and even surgeries, under the illusion that a child can “choose” their gender. Where possible, perhaps it is time to choose a hospital that doesn’t hold the philosophical view that a child can choose a gender, and doctors should help permanently alter them to satisfy that delusion.
Tacoma’s Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital to close gender clinic – Post Millennial
In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at restricting the controversial procedures.
Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital plans to shut down its gender care clinic this week, citing mounting federal pressure that hospital leaders say could jeopardize critical Medicaid and Medicare funding for its parent organization, MultiCare Health System.
In a memo sent to employees on Monday, obtained by The Seattle Times, MultiCare CEO Bill Robertson said “recent developments at the federal level” have raised the risk that the federal government could cut off payments to the entire health system if Mary Bridge continues providing gender-altering services to minors. “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make,” Robertson wrote. “We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”
