Lawsuit claims biased hiring practices favor Black doctors in network initiative

A national physicians group, Vituity, is facing a lawsuit for its "Bridge to Brilliance Program," which allegedly discriminates against non-Black applicants by offering a $100,000 signing bonus exclusively to Black physicians. The lawsuit, filed by the doctors group Do No Harm, claims that the program violates federal law and argues that medical professionals should be hired based on merit rather than race. Vituity defends the program, stating that it is designed to enhance healthcare services for historically marginalized communities. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction against Vituity's racially discriminatory eligibility criteria for the program.

Do No Harm: The Anti-Diversity Initiative Fueling Anti-Trans Legislation

Many anti-LGBTQ bills across the US have similar language that originates from right-wing organizations like Do No Harm, which advocates against trans inclusion in healthcare. The group produces ready-made bills that can be easily replicated in different states, with similar preambles and citations proclaiming the so-called dangers of gender-affirming healthcare. Despite claims that it protects healthcare workers and patients from "discriminatory, divisive ideologies," the nonprofit's position conflicts with the recommendations of leading medical organizations, which warn against promoting pervasive stigmas against LGBTQ people.

The Rising Influence of Transgender Health Bills in the US

Do No Harm, a nonprofit founded by Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, has become a significant leader in statehouses seeking to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youths, producing model legislation that has been used in at least three states. The organization had lobbyists registered in at least three states and in Florida in 2023. Do No Harm's model legislation on gender-affirming care has been criticized for using technical medical terminology as political rhetoric to scare people.
