The hospital said: “Dr. Gordon resigned from her position and that decision was unrelated to transgender medicine. ... We are excited about our new leadership team who shares our deep commitment to our transgender and gender-diverse patients.

I truly cannot wait to see what we can accomplish, together as a team, in the months and years to come.
