Seattle Children's Hospital Settles With Texas AG

The hospital will cease its business operations in Texas following a legal settlement, maintaining the confidentiality of patient data.

Seattle Children's Hospital reached a settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, preventing the release of records on transgender youth.
As part of the settlement, the hospital will withdraw its business registration in Texas, effectively ending its operations in the state.
The dispute began after Paxton's office requested information on transgender children who may have received gender-affirming care.
Texas laws restricting gender-affirming care for minors prompted the legal challenge by Paxton.
The hospital emphasized its commitment to patient privacy and compliance with applicable laws.
