## Key points

- Texas Children’s Hospital has opened a detransition clinic under a state settlement.
- The hospital will fund care for five years at no cost to patients.
- It has begun assessing prospective patients but reports no appointments yet.

## Summary

Texas Children’s Hospital has opened what the Texas attorney general describes as the nation’s first detransition clinic, under a settlement with the state. The clinic is intended to provide medical care and support to people seeking to reverse or address aspects of gender-transition treatment.

The hospital must fund the services for five years, making them free to patients, and publicise the clinic on its website. Care may include endocrinology, surgery, primary care, fertility counselling and mental health services; the hospital says it is assessing prospective patients but has not yet held clinical appointments. The $10 million settlement also resolved government claims alleging improper Medicaid billing for gender-transition treatments, which the hospital was accused of under state and federal laws.
