A Colorado children’s hospital has stopped offering transition-related surgeries for transgender patients 18 and older,
a hospital spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. The hospital said it never provided such surgeries for minors. Rachael Fowler, a spokesperson for Children’s Hospital Colorado, said in a statement to NBC News that, due to"unprecedented referrals," the hospital"made the difficult decision to no longer provide gender-affirming surgical procedures for adult patients 18 years of age and older."
Fowler added that the hospital is working with patients to refer them to other facilities that still provide these surgeries. She added that, “threats to children’s hospitals across the nation did not drive our decision.” Children’s Hospital Colorado, through its TRUE Center for Gender Diversity, will continue to provide nonsurgical gender-affirming care for both minors and patients who have recently turned 18. This care includes hormone therapy, gender counseling and nutrition services, according to the center’s website.LGBTQ advocates in the state expressed concern over the hospital’s decision.told KUSA-TVColorado Gov.
