President Trump's recent executive order ends federal funding for medical institutions providing gender-affirming care to minors, which has sparked legal opposition and immediate implications for patient care. Although some institutions, like Seattle Children's Hospital, have postponed procedures, others in the Portland area, such as OHSU, have not made immediate changes. Medical staff express concerns over the order's impact on patients, while organizations like Legacy Health and the Cascade AIDS Project continue to provide services, monitoring ongoing legal developments and reinforcing their commitment to healthcare access.
"OHSU has a process in place for monitoring, evaluating and responding to any federal actions or legislation that may directly impact our programs and services."
"The executive order on gender-affirming care is very scary for patients and their families. We are continuing to provide this care."
