| Description | Stanford Health, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, and Rady's Children's Health ended gender-affirming care services for minors. Private care is still legal and protected. It is important to note that there is no law in the state restricting gender-affirming care access for minors. Calfornia AG Bonta sued Rady's Children's Health in February 2026 due to a contract breach. It is the first known lawsuit in the country to challenge the closure of trans youth clinics. |
