""Rady Children's Health has chosen to violate its merger agreement and California law in response to the Trump Administration's illegal campaign against providers of gender-affirming care," said Bonta in a statement."
""Rady flagrantly disregarded its legal obligations by unilaterally deciding to preemptively comply with the Administration's demands and cease medically necessary care for roughly 1,450 patients. "We will not allow Rady to violate its obligations to its patients and the State. "We will fight to uphold the law and ensure Californians can access gender-affirming care without facing unfair roadblocks.""
California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit on 30 January against Rady Children's Health over its decision to close its gender-affirming care program for patients under 19. Rady announced closure of its Center for Gender Affirming Care effective 6 February and said it would withdraw medical interventions, procedures and prescriptions while maintaining counselling, mental health resources and care coordination. Rady Children's Health is comprised of Children's Hospital of Orange County and Rady Children's Hospital San Diego following a January 2025 merger of their parent companies. Bonta argues the closure violates conditions he placed on that merger and California law and seeks to restore access for roughly 1,450 patients.
