In this PJ Media article, Matt Margolis reports on a Justice Department resolution with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation that bars the hospital system from providing gender-transition procedures to minors.
- The article says the Trump administration’s Justice Department reached what it calls a major agreement with Cleveland Clinic over transgender-related medical procedures for children.
- Cleveland Clinic agreed to stop performing or offering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and other gender-transition procedures for minors.
- The agreement was reached in connection with both the DOJ and the Ohio Attorney General’s office.
- The hospital system will pay a $308,000 penalty after investigators alleged false billings were submitted to public and private insurers for these procedures involving minors.
- Cleveland Clinic also agreed to provide $2 million for restorative care for detransitioners, including those who lack insurance or the ability to pay.
- Margolis frames the settlement as part of a broader Trump administration push to hold medical institutions accountable for transgender procedures performed on children.
- The article notes that the DOJ previously reached a separate agreement with Texas Children’s Hospital, which included a $10 million penalty and the creation of a detransitioner clinic.
- DOJ officials quoted in the article say the department intends to continue pursuing hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and other medical providers involved in procedures they argue put children at risk.
- Margolis argues that the settlements show momentum against what he describes as the medical establishment’s embrace of gender ideology and a federal effort to protect children going forward.
