Resources for Healthcare Providers and Health Systems
As a health professional who cares for young adults, whether you’re a physician, nurse, social worker, or any other type of professional, you play an important role in youth health transition! We hope the resources on this website are useful as you provide the care and guidance to help your patients lead healthy and productive lives as young adults.
This introduction for healthcare providers offers an overview of the transition from pediatric to adult health care. Narrated by Julie Hajewski, NP, and member of the Youth Health Transition team, the video also describes the WI Youth Health Transition Initiative. The office is housed at the University of WI Madison Waisman Center and the team provides technical assistance to healthcare providers, clinics, and health systems. Julie is available to answer questions and provide information about transition best practices and creating transition policy.
