New York City families say that trans teens have been cut off from gender-affirming care in the Mount Sinai hospital system, local news outlet Gothamist reported on Saturday.

Parents said they were notified over the phone that their teens could no longer access gender-affirming care at at one of the country's leading medical centers for transgender care, and that the hospital's trans health program for youth would not accept new patients. Reached by The Advocate, a spokesperson for Mount Sinai declined to comment on this story.
