DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – A nonprofit claims that Henry Ford Health is “pushing irreversible sex changes on kids” and said the hospital is “an irreversible child sex change factory,” something Henry Ford Health denies.
Henry Ford issues a statement.
In an email to Michigan News Source, Henry Ford Health said, “We want to be clear: we do not perform gender reassignment surgeries on minors.”

The statement continued, “This is an advertising smear campaign by an out-of-state group, and the ludicrous claim that Henry Ford Health prioritizes politics over patients is patently false. For 110 years, we’ve been proud to be the medical backbone of our community—a trusted healthcare partner for all. Our goal has always been to treat everyone who walks through our doors with dignity and respect, and to provide the very best medical care. We believe our community knows that.”
Website cites “gender-affirming care.”
Consumers’ Research created a website that cited a March 19 Daily Caller News Foundation article that stated Henry Ford Health was one of several hospitals that confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that it still provided “gender-affirming care” for minors.
The website documents Henry Ford Health’s published materials regarding transgender children. That includes a guide for parents that states, “Medical gender affirmation involves physical changes that could include puberty blockers, hormones and/or surgery.”
One Henry Ford Health website page offers information for transgender “adolescents and young adults.” That page states the services include puberty blockers, gender affirming hormones as well as “referrals for other transgender-specific medical, surgical and mental health services.”
DEI and gender ideology.
The FordHealthExposed.com website also details Henry Ford Health’s views on diversity, equity and inclusion. The website states that Henry Ford Health has a supplier diversity program which states it must prioritize businesses that are 51% owned by LGBTQ people or minorities.
“They put politics over patients,” the website alleges. “Driven by gender ideology, inspired by DEI. Henry Ford Health has focused on weaving discriminatory practices into everything it does, administering harmful transgender treatments on kids, and prioritizing a radical climate agenda. Putting politics over patients is part of who they are. They are Henry Ford Health.”
