Corewell Health Halts Puberty Blockers and Hormones for Michigan Minors Citing Legal Risk

State leaders vow to contest federal directives that prompted the suspension.

Overview

  • Corewell Health, Michigan's largest health system, confirmed it has stopped prescribing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones to minors.
  • The system said it acted due to a "serious risk of legal and regulatory action" to protect clinicians and patients.
  • Corewell said its gender care clinics will continue non-hormonal services, including mental health support.
  • Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel called the move "deeply disappointing" and noted her office joined a multistate suit challenging the president's executive orders.
  • The announcement follows Michigan Medicine's August halt after a federal subpoena that the hospital described as part of a criminal and civil investigation.
