This hybrid summit aims to enhance communication and partnerships that support pediatric to adult health care transition in Minnesota and beyond. The theme of the 4th Annual Health Care Transition Summit is Connection: Humanizing the Health Care Transition from Pediatric to Adult Serving Systems. We will bring together a statewide collaboration of advocacy, clinical, education, and policymaking experts to share best practices and exchange knowledge that successfully supports youth as they transition to adult services. The Summit will offer participants valuable insights on driving advancement in the field of Health Care Transition (HCT). Participants can use this knowledge to enhance their clinics, hospitals, programs, and overall state practices to support safe transition from pediatric to adult care systems.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Patience White and Peggy McManus, from Got Transition, a program of the National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health. Dr. White and Ms. McManus, along with clinical experts from Gillette Children’s, and other esteemed guests, will provide expertise and guidance to foster engaging dialogue centered on current conversations in pediatric to adult HCT.
