3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 8

Summary

  • $2 million in free medical care for former child patients is part of Mount Sinai's agreement with the Trump administration to stop providing sex reassignment procedures to minors.
  • The deal follows a Justice Department investigation into possible violations of federal health-care laws, including alleged fraudulent billing and drug-safety issues tied to youth transgender treatments.
  • Mount Sinai said 4,931 transgender and gender-diverse patients were seen by its providers in 2025, though it has not publicly disclosed how many minors received hormones or surgeries.
  • The settlement extends a broader Trump administration campaign to defund youth transition care; Texas Children's, Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Connecticut Children's have also agreed to halt such procedures.
