NYU Langone Health, part of a New York hospital system, says it has received a federal grand jury subpoena issued from Texas seeking information related to gender-affirming care provided to minors. Multiple outlets report that the subpoena was issued by the US Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Texas and seeks records covering patients under the age of 18 who received gender-affirming care during a specified period from 2020 to 2026. The request also asks for the names of medical providers and other staff members involved in delivering the treatments.
According to NYU Langone’s communication to patients and parents, the subpoena is part of broader federal efforts to investigate or obtain information about how gender-affirming care for minors is provided. The Guardian reports that the subpoena was sent on May 7 and that NYU Langone was one of several institutions that received similar subpoenas, according to statements on the hospital’s website.
Details about the scope of the requested records and how the hospital will respond were not fully described in the reports.
