A Denver judge ruled that Children’s Hospital Colorado did not violate a court order requiring the facility to resume gender-affirming care for transgender minors. The lawsuit and subsequent contempt proceedings stemmed from a legal battle after the hospital previously suspended prescriptions for puberty blockers and hormone therapy for patients under 18 due to pressure and threats of federal sanctions from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Although plaintiffs argued the hospital should be held in contempt for failing to ensure prescriptions were being written by doctors, the hospital maintained it complied with the injunction by updating its policies, even as individual medical providers independently chose not to prescribe the treatments out of fear of federal penalties.
