Trump Administration Refers LA LGBT Center to HHS Inspector General — One of Four LGBTQ+ FQHCs Targeted Nationally
HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart referred the Los Angeles LGBT Center (along with Whitman-Walker Health DC, Callen-Lorde NYC, and Institute for Family Health NYC) to the HHS OIG for investigation, stemming from HHS Secretary Kennedy's December 2025 declaration targeting organizations providing gender-affirming care for minors. A 22-state lawsuit (Oregon v. Kennedy) challenged the actions; HHS agreed to pause exclusion notices but investigations continue.
If exclusion proceeds, the LA LGBT Center would lose all federal Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement.
