- The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee accused Memphis-based Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare of halting all gender-affirming surgeries due to a newly adopted policy.
- “In recent weeks, some care providers voiced questions about patients receiving gender affirming procedures at a facility affiliated with our health system,” hospital spokesperson Rachel Powers said. “This resulted in a temporary pause to review current practices.”
- The ACLU threatened to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
