## Resource

Mount Sinai Health System is settling with the DOJ to halt gender-affirming care for minors, paying $2 million to fund alternative care for those allegedly harmed—joining a growing list of hospitals like Texas Children’s and Cleveland Clinic under similar pressure. This follows federal funding cuts from 2020 and institutions like NYU Langone shutting down youth programs amid tightening regulations. Legal battles rage on, with courts so far blocking the DOJ from accessing medical records of transgender youth. Advocates warn this could create a nationwide “shadow ban,” severely limiting access to vital care—even in states that protect transgender residents.
