A local hospital has made a significant change to its services. Connecticut Children's Medical Center will no longer provide gender-affirming care to minors. This decision comes after an agreement with the Justice Department.

The hospital's decision has raised concerns about the continuity of care for transgender youth and their families. As part of the agreement, the hospital will pay a penalty and set aside funds to support individuals who claim to have been harmed by previous gender-affirming care. Further details about this development are available from the original source, which reported on the Justice Department's announcement and the hospital's settlement agreement.
