BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit against Swedish Health Services for refusing to meet the terms of a settlement agreement designed to end the hospital system’s discriminatory practices and improve health care access for transgender patients.
In 2017, the ACLU-WA filed a lawsuit, Robbins v. Swedish Health Services, on behalf of Ari Robbins, a Seattle man who was wrongfully turned away from Swedish solely because he is transgender.
As part of a settlement the parties agreed to in July 2019, Swedish had six months to implement specific changes to its website to assist transgender patients in accessing healthcare at Swedish.
Now, almost a year after the implementation deadline, with the COVID-19 pandemic deepening health care disparities for transgender people, Swedish continues to ignore its promises.
