The U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with Connecticut Children’s Medical Center to halt all sex-rejecting procedures on minors, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. This makes Connecticut Children’s the third hospital to resolve such cases after Texas Children’s Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. The agreement mandates a $500,000 financial commitment for victims of past procedures and prohibits future gender-affirming care for minors. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward emphasized the DOJ’s commitment to protecting children from unsafe medical practices. Connecticut Children’s acknowledged cooperation during the investigation and agreed to provide restorative care. The DOJ noted allegations are pending resolution, with no liability determination made. Connecticut Children’s has denied all allegations.
