Colorado Supreme Court orders Children's Hospital to resume gender transition treatments for minors
The Colorado Supreme Court has mandated that Children's Hospital Colorado resume gender transition treatments for minors. This decision follows a lawsuit from four transgender patients who claimed the hospital's pause on treatments violated anti-discrimination laws. The court found that the hospital's actions could cause irreparable harm to the patients.
- ▪Children's Hospital Colorado had paused puberty blockers and hormonal therapy for minors after a warning from HHS about potential loss of federal Medicaid funding.
- ▪The court ruled in a 5-2 decision that the hospital discriminated against transgender patients by not offering treatments available to other minors.
- ▪Justice William Hood III stated that the immediate harm to the patients outweighed any speculative harm to the hospital.
