Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program

The Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYA) Program in Belvidere, IL, is dedicated to supporting young cancer survivors aged 15-39. Our program harnesses the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers alongside the exceptional resources of Chicago's Lurie Cancer Center. We prioritize the unique and complex needs of AYA patients, offering a range of tailored services such as psychosocial support, fertility counseling, health insurance assistance, surveillance and survivorship care, access to clinical trials, specialty cancer programs, and palliative care. Committed to enhancing the quality of life for young cancer survivors, we also collaborate with various support centers, providing crucial opportunities for education, discussion, and community building. We understand that financial stress can be an additional burden, so we offer medically necessary care at discounted or no cost when needed, ensuring that every young individual receives the comprehensive support they deserve on their cancer journey.
