Adventist Health Forms a Partnership and a New Joint Venture with One of the "Nation's Most LGBT-Friendly" and Gender-Affirming Surgical Providers

For thirteen consecutive years, the University of California San Francisco Health (UCSF) has been ranked as one of the "nation's most LGBT-friendly" health care systems. [1] UCSF Health is very well-known for its "transgender roadmap," which is a set of medical procedures performed to modify a person's physical body and voice to align them with their perceived gender identity. [2] Part of the procedures that UCSF Health specializes in includes chest reconstruction, facial surgeries, and genital reconstruction surgeries. [3]

One of UCSF Health's greatest joys is the "Child and Adolescent Gender Center," in which they offer children from ages 3 to 17 puberty blockers-medications that suppress the body from producing principal sex hormones in girls (estrogen) and boys (testosterone)-to prepare them for transition at a later date through their referral system. [4]

UCSF Health and Adventist Health announced on February 9, 2024, that they were forming a new joint venture and partnership to establish a new hospital. According to UCSF Health, under this new relationship that is in line with their "systems nationally ranked care standards," UCSF Health will offer supervision in this new partnership, and Adventist Health will provide their expertise in hospital management.

UCSF Health announced the following:

• "UCSF Health, Adventist Health and Madera County leaders announced today their intent to jointly reopen and operate Madera Community Hospital. In an innovative partnership model, the three entities would come together to create a high-quality community hospital focused on keeping care local in Madera County." [5]

• "UCSF Health would provide clinical oversight of the hospital, along with quality and safety programs that align with the system's nationally ranked care standards. Adventist Health would leverage its expertise in hospital operations, operational efficiency, and superior patient experience to give residents of the community a hospital that they can rely on. Partnering with Madera County to align with the health care needs of the community, both organizations are committed to restoring life-saving critical care services in Madera County and building a safe, sustainable and high-quality care infrastructure that the region can rely on for decades to come." [5]

When UCSF Health says that they are committed to providing "life-saving critical care," keep in mind that the so-called experts in contemporary medicine hold the view that "gender-affirming care is medically necessary care that can be life-saving for transgender youth." [6]

Why would Seventh-day Adventist hospitals form alliances with corrupt healthcare institutions that are dedicated to using science and medicine to change the sexual characteristics of the human body and deface the image of God? Have we descended to such a low level that, in order to further the LGBT agenda, we want to collaborate with individuals who give children as young as three years transgender health care? UCSF Health is in the business of taking perfectly normal body parts and mutilating them because they want to help males transition into females and females into males for around $100,000 per patient. [7]

Are these the wicked people that we are now partners with? This is a betrayal of God and a rejection of the Bible. We no longer understand what it means to be human, made in the image of God! This abomination defies God's intentions for mankind regarding human sexuality. Adventist healthcare is turning its back on Christ's mission of restoring people physically and spiritually into the image of God and surrendering to the powers of "darkness in this world" and "spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).
