Children’s Minnesota to resume all gender health program services

April 7, 2026 - 00:09

Children's Minnesota has confirmed the full reinstatement of its gender health program services. The program, which provides critical and comprehensive support to transgender and gender-diverse youth, was temporarily paused in February.

The decision to resume operations follows a significant legal development in March. At that time, a state court ruling overturned a previous attempt to restrict access to gender-affirming care for minors, clearing a path for the clinic to resume its vital work. The program is a dedicated resource for young people and their families, offering a multidisciplinary approach that includes medical care, mental health support, and family education.

Hospital officials emphasize that the care provided is evidence-based and developed in alignment with leading medical standards. The program's return is seen as a crucial restoration of essential healthcare services for a vulnerable population, ensuring that patients can once again access necessary medical guidance and support in a specialized, compassionate setting. The team is now focused on re-engaging with patients and the community to provide this important care.
