Quick Summary

NYU Langone has agreed to terminate its transgender healthcare services for minors and pay $8.5 million to settle a federal investigation by the Trump administration's DOJ. This decision follows a subpoena in May requesting medical records of trans youth patients, part of a broader DOJ probe into such care practices since 2025. NYU Langone claims it reached this agreement to avoid lengthy legal battles and protect its stakeholders, although it denies any wrongdoing. The settlement mirrors actions taken by other major hospitals like Mount Sinai Health System, drawing criticism from New York City officials who view the move as politicizing private medical decisions.

Story summary

NYU Langone Medical Center agreed on Friday to end transgender medical care for minors and pay $8.5 million to resolve a DOJ investigation initiated by the Trump Administration. The hospital network, which serves thousands of patients across New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, reached this settlement after being subpoenaed in May 2025 to provide medical records on minors who received transgender care. According to US Attorney General Todd Blanche, the DOJ is working to protect children by ending so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. NYU Langone maintains it has not admitted any wrongdoing and denies liability but agreed to the settlement to avoid further legal complications.
