Providers have a key role in the transition of adolescents and young adults from pediatric to adult health care. 

Health care transition goals for providers include: 

  1. Improving the ability of adolescents and young adults to manage their own health care and effectively use health services
  2. Using an organized process in pediatric and adult health care practices to support adolescents and ensure a smooth transfer to adult-centered health care. 

See below for resources to help guide patients/clients as they transition from pediatric to adult health care.
