Boston Children’s Hospital has been reimbursed $1.4 million by the state of Massachusetts for its “gender transition services” spanning from January 2015 to May 2023, as revealed in documents obtained through a public records request by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The hospital, known for establishing the nation’s first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program, faced significant criticism in 2022 for conducting gender transition surgeries on minors, including procedures such as vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, chest reconstruction, and breast augmentation, as indicated on a now-removed website.
The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) in Massachusetts confirmed that it had paid Boston Children’s Hospital more than $1.4 million for “Gender transition services,” encompassing physician’s services, inpatient and outpatient care, hospital services, surgical procedures, prescribed medications, therapies, and more, during the period from January 1, 2015, to May 1, 2023.
