18 days ago by TRAHR to c/pennsylvania

Protesters gathered outside UPMC Children’s Hospital after the hospital system agreed to stop providing gender-affirming medical care to patients under 19.

About 20 people protested outside UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in Lawrenceville on Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The protest came after UPMC agreed to pay the federal government $950,000 to resolve an investigation into alleged billing practices related to gender-affirming care for minors. The settlement also includes protections for patients’ private medical information. UPMC denied any wrongdoing.
