Bridging the Gap: From Child to Adult Health Systems
Join us for a free presentation and conversation to help guide families through the transition from child
centered to adult health systems. Youth and families are often overwhelmed and under-prepared for the
transition to adult health care. This presentation will introduce and discuss when to start thinking about transition as well as provide helpful tools and resources.

Saturday, January 21, 2023, 8:30-9:30 AM
