America’s Essential Hospitals is closely monitoring the executive orders signed by President Trump since he took office on Jan. 20, as well as related lawsuits challenging the executive orders and other agency actions. The association will continue to provide biweekly lawsuit updates and real-time summaries of executive orders and related agency actions.
Since the association’s last update, on Aug. 19, the Supreme Court issued an order allowing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to proceed in terminating over 800 research grants. NIH asserted the grants were initially terminated because they did not align with the administration’s priorities and policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Separately, 17 states filed a lawsuit asserting that the Trump administration is unlawfully intimidating hospitals to stop gender-affirming care for individuals younger than 19.
Members can access the association’s latest review of the lawsuits against the Trump administration’s actions and a full summary of executive orders from Jan. 20 through Aug. 19.
