Important Update to Gender-Affirming Pediatric Care Services
Updated: July 18, 2025
UChicago Medicine has reached the difficult decision that in response to continued federal actions, it will discontinue all gender-affirming pediatric care effective immediately. We understand that this news will have a significant impact on our patients.
We reached this conclusion in light of emerging federal actions which would place at risk our ability to care for all Medicare or Medicaid patients. These patients make up the majority of those we serve. As the largest Medicaid provider in Illinois, this step is necessary to ensure UChicago Medicine can continue serving our broader community and delivering on our mission.
Our focus right now is working with affected patients to discuss options going forward.
