All doctors staffing Dell Children’s adolescent medicine clinic are departing after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation into whether gender-affirming care procedures were “unlawfully performed on minor children” at the hospital.
“We are working with our staff, families, and other providers to ensure our patients’ safety and make sure we are helping families connect with the appropriate healthcare services,” Dell Children’s representatives said. “While the physicians who previously staffed the clinic will be departing, the clinic remains open and supported by other physicians within Dell Children’s Medical Group. We continue to be advocates for the best possible care and treatment for children in Central Texas.
The shakeup comes as the Texas House of Representatives considers Senate Bill 14, a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming care for minors, such as surgery and hormone blockers. One patient, a 19-year-old named Leonardo, received a call from his social worker on the same day Paxton announced his investigation. Leonardo says he began receiving hormone treatments from the clinic at age 17. The social worker told him that his care providers were leaving the clinic and he would need to seek care elsewhere.
While Leonardo received gender-affirming care at the clinic, it offers treatment for a variety of other medical conditions, including anxiety and depression, eating disorders, reproductive health, nutrition, and growth concerns, among others.
