NYU Langone and UPMC Pay DOJ to End Youth Gender Care
NYU Langone and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) have settled with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to cease providing gender-affirming care to minors. NYU Langone will pay $8.5 million, while UPMC will pay $950,000. These agreements, announced on September 18, 2026, follow similar deals with Mount Sinai and other major hospital systems. The settlements include non-prosecution protections for patients and staff but have drawn sharp criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and local officials who view them as capitulation to federal pressure.
