Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago provided "sex change" treatments to at least 145 children between 2019 and 2023.
That’s according to a national database released of hospitals and medical facilities “administering irreversible sex change interventions on children in the United States” by the organization Do No Harm.
“With the launch of the Stop the Harm Database, Do No Harm is building on our mission to expose the dangers of experimental pediatric gender medicine and bring the practice to an end,” said Do No Harm Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, in a press release. “This first-of-its-kind project provides patients, families, and policymakers with a resource that reveals the pervasiveness of irreversible sex-change treatments for minors in America.
“While this data represents the tip of the iceberg, this is the first step in holding the medical establishment accountable for participating in, and often times promoting, predatory and unscientific medical interventions for vulnerable children,” Goldfarb said.
Do No Harm said the database “catalogs pediatric sex change-related services, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, at U.S.-based medical facilities between 2019 and 2023.”
The data represents sources including “claims clearinghouses, data aggregators, payors, health systems, CMS, and multiple open data sources,” according to Do No Harm, and includes data from commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and VA claims.
”Last year Tablet Magazine wrote an in-depth article noting how the Pritzker family, including Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), has used its wealth and outsized footprint to promote and normalize “synthetic sex identities.”
“In August 2021, Gov. Pritzker signed into law a new sex education bill for all public schools in Illinois, the first of its kind designed in accordance with the second edition of the National Sex Education Standards (NSES) to update sex ed curricula in K-12 schools,” Jennifer Bilek wrote in Tablet.
"Bill SB0 818 will be implemented on or before Aug. 1, 2022. Though the bill includes a written opt-out for parents (but not an alternative if they do opt out), many are concerned with the material being brought into children’s schools under the auspices of teaching them sexual health—namely gender identity ideology and other related material.”
Pritzker, through a non-profit foundation, has directly funded "gender reassignment" of children – meaning they have engaged in experimental surgery to greatly alter the sex organs of children – at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Prairie State Wire reported earlier this year.
Lurie's saw 145 “sex change” patients, who were children, from 2019 to 2023, according to the Do No Harm database, including 39 surgery patients and 108 total “hormone and puberty blocker” patients. There were 962 total prescriptions written. In all, it amounted to $274,228 total submitted charges.
Founded in 1882, Lurie's Hospital is a pediatric medical center located in Chicago. The hospital provides specialized care in areas such as cardiology, neurology, oncology, orthopedics, and endocrinology for infants, children, and teens. The hospital also conducts research on pediatric conditions and care through the Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute.
Lurie Children's Hospital has distributed materials and held training sessions promoting gender theory and sexually explicit content in several Chicago-area school systems.
The hospital was accused of promoting "gender ideology" and providing materials to schools promoting radical "gender theory".
Dr. Thomas Shanley is the president and CEO of Lurie's, having joined the organization in 2015 on a research organization before being named President in 2019. Shanley previously served as the pediatric chief resident at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which was named the top offending hospital by Do No Harm.
The chairman of Lurie's board of directors is Roxanne Martino, the Managing Partner of OceanM19, an S&P 500 real estate investment company. Martino previously served as the Chief Executive Officer and Investment Committee Chairperson of Aurora Investment Management. She is also on the boards of The University of Chicago Booth School of Business Council, Committee of The Chicago Network, and The Economic Club of Chicago.
In all, hospitals in Illinois saw 412 minors who were “sex change patients,” including 211 total surgery patients. These hospitals administered “hormone and puberty blockers” to 206 total children, and wrote 1,589 prescriptions. In all, it totaled $642,091 in total submitted charges.
Chloe Cole, a senior fellow at Do No Harm, said the database “proves the lies from the medical establishment and radical politicians who argue that cases like mine are rare.”
A 20-year-old woman who said that she had “gender dysphoria” was given “puberty blockers,” testosterone and had a double mastectomy at age 12, Cole has since “de-transitioned” and supports bans on the chemical castration of minors.
“The stats in this database represent thousands of kids who are being treated like Guinea pigs for unproven, and sometimes dangerous, medical experiments,” said Cole. “I hope politicians and parents alike use this database to see where these treatments are happening and protect their children from being rushed into irreversible, life-altering treatments.”
Nationally, 13,994 children received sex change related treatments between 2019 and 2023, according to Do No Harm’s database. This includes 5,747 sex change surgeries performed on children, and 62,682 hormone and puberty blockers prescriptions written for 8,579 pediatric patients.
“At least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors,” reported the organization.
