Officials with South Dakota’s largest healthcare agencies, Sanford Health and Avera Health, are not willing to talk about the state of what gender affirming health care looks like in the state.

The Argus Leader had requested interviews with doctors in both hospital systems to speak about transgender health care and support services, including what a typical timeline, course or plan of treatment for trans patients under 18 can look like in South Dakota at a time when such treatments are facing scrutiny during this year’s legislative session.

The questions were sparked by the Jan. 17 introduction of House Bill 1080, which would prohibit health care professionals from providing several forms of gender-affirming care for patients under 18. The bill has been referred to the House Health and Human Services committee, and is awaiting its first debate.
