The Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is scheduled to close its doors on July 22.
The announcement, initially released in June, marks the end of the center’s reign as the largest facility in the United States that promotes subjecting children to the often irreversible impact of drugs and surgeries by luring them with the claim that they can undergo “gender transitions” in order to become their “authentic selves.”
“For more than 30 years, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has provided high-quality, evidence-based, medically essential care for transgender and gender-diverse youth, young adults, and their families,” the center stated in its notice. “CHLA is immensely proud of this legacy of caring for young people on the path to achieving their authentic selves. Despite this deeply held commitment to supporting LA’s gender-diverse community, the hospital has been left with no viable path forward except to close the Center for Transyouth Health and Development, effective July 22, 2025.”
