In a statement published on July 29, the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University announced that it would “cease providing Gender-Affirming Care” for youth under 19 after “a thoughtful and thorough assessment that revealed no other viable options and that time.”

The policy change is scheduled to take effect at the end of October. 

“As we wind down these services over the next 90 days, our care teams will provide support and assist with safe transfer of care for existing patients, considering each youth’s needs with compassion and clinical judgment,” the hospital stated.
