Children’s Hospital Colorado discloses second federal investigation during trans-care hearing

During a contempt hearing over Children’s Hospital Colorado’s continued denial of gender-affirming medical care to minors, hospital counsel disclosed a second federal investigation into the hospital’s services. The underlying class action includes transgender adolescents who were or will be denied care after January 2, 2026.

The report does not identify the investigating agency, its scope, or any enforcement action. This is a serious new pressure point for care access in Colorado, but it is not a ruling or a confirmed change in law or policy.
