NYU Langone Health has agreed to stop offering pediatric gender-affirming care following a deal made with the U.S. Department of Justice.

According to the agency, the hospital network has also agreed to pay $8.5 million as part of the resolution.

Last year, the DOJ was ordered by President Trump to investigate and penalize providers who perform gender-affirming care on minors.

Services under the deal include hormone treatments, puberty blockers and surgeries.

The move comes two weeks after the DOJ reached a similar deal with the Mount Sinai Health System.
