2024 Gillette Children's Pediatric to Adult Health Care Transition Summit

The Gillette Children's Pediatric to Adult Health Care Learning Collaborative Summit is the culmination of an eight-month, virtual learning series that brought together a multidisciplinary group to learn about health care transition (HCT) and discuss real-time HCT challenges. This learning series focused on sharing HCT resources and ideas grounded in health equity and trauma-informed principles. The Transition Summit builds on this series by bringing together leading experts, stakeholders, healthcare professionals, and others to share best practices, exchange knowledge, and drive advancement in the field of HCT for youth with special health needs. The Transition Summit will offer participants valuable insights into enhancing their clinics, hospitals, programs, and overall state practices related to pediatric to adult HCT. These advancements are urgently needed to support the growing number of youths with special health needs aging into adulthood and to ensure safe HCT from pediatric to adult care systems.
