Due to a change in federal requirements that went into effect October 1, 2025, Fenway Health is unable to provide medical gender-affirming care (hormones and puberty blockers) for patients under the age of 19. All other care and services for patients of all ages and backgrounds will remain available and unchanged, at this time.
This change in position is a response to a shifting federal landscape that requires us to adapt in order to remain compliant, sustainable, and able to provide healthcare, support, and services to all our patients and the community. Fenway Health is a federally qualified health center (FQHC), and we are required to maintain compliance with HRSA regulations. Being an FQHC allows us to continue delivering high-quality comprehensive care for more than 30,000 residents of New England and beyond. Losing this status would challenge our ability to meet the needs of all who rely on us.
Our priority through this process, and always, is to center patients by focusing on the health, safety, and continuity of care of those impacted as well as our broader patient population as we navigate these new federal requirements.
