Transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare is not just a set of procedural steps—it’s a significant life event. Young people face new responsibilities, unfamiliar systems, and shifting relationships with their care teams. The process can feel overwhelming without the right support. Community involvement plays an essential role in making healthcare transition successful.
Alongside Gillette Children’s, schools, families, clinics, and neighborhood organizations can help youths make the transition to the right level of independence with confidence. Review the following tools and resources to help you on your transition journey.
