US EditionCalifornia attorney general sues Rady Children’s Hospital for curtailing gender-affirming care
California AG Rob Bonta seeks court order to restore gender-affirming care for 1,400+ youth, citing Rady Children’s Hospital’s breach of a merger agreement through 2034.
- On Friday, California's Rob Bonta sued Rady Children's Health in San Diego Superior Court, demanding restoration of gender-affirming care after the hospital announced on January 20 it would cease services effective Feb. 6.
- Citing escalating federal actions, Rady Children's Health said a referral to the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and concerns about Medicaid and Medicare participation prompted limiting gender-affirming care.
- Bonta said the 2024 merger conditions required maintaining 36 medical services through 2034, but Rady ceased care for roughly 1,450 patients without notifying or seeking approval.
- Patients under 18 who were receiving gender-affirming care at Rady no longer are, with affected families reporting canceled appointments as protests erupted involving an estimated 1,000 San Diego families.
- Under the merger's terms, Rady needed approval from the attorney general before Feb. 6 reductions, and the public comment period remains open until Feb. 17, so legal disputes are ongoing.
