NYU Langone Receives Federal Grand Jury Subpoena for Pediatric Gender Care Records
NYU Langone Health disclosed last week that it received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Texas seeking records on minors who received gender-affirming care from 2020 to 2026. The request marks a shift from prior administrative subpoenas sent to about 20 hospitals and suggests a possible criminal investigation.

NYU Langone Health disclosed that it received a federal grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas last week. The subpoena demands records related to gender-affirming care provided to patients under 18 from 2020 to 2026, including information on the minors who received treatment, the clinicians involved, and anyone else connected to their care.
According to STAT News, the subpoena is one of several similar grand jury subpoenas issued last week to institutions offering pediatric gender care.
The disclosure follows administrative subpoenas sent last year to roughly 20 hospitals. Those earlier requests did not require judicial approval. The latest action arrives as the Trump administration has raised questions about potential fraud in the off-label use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors.
Officials have argued that clinician discussions or materials provided to patients could constitute fraud even though off-label prescribing itself remains legal, per the STAT report.
NYU Langone ended its Transgender Youth Health Program in February, citing the departure of its medical director and the current regulatory environment. The hospital had offered puberty suppression, hormone therapy, and related support to adolescents.
It is the first institution to publicly announce receipt of one of the new grand jury subpoenas. Several other hospitals received similar subpoenas last week but have not publicly announced them. The Department of Justice declined to comment on the NYU Langone subpoena.
