Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA)

The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) program in Chanute, KS, is dedicated to supporting young patients aged 13 and older who are battling cancer and blood disorders. Our compassionate team provides specialized clinical services tailored to the unique needs of adolescents and young adults undergoing treatment. We prioritize the involvement of patients and their families at every stage, fostering an environment of collaboration and feedback to continually enhance the quality of care. With a multidisciplinary team that includes social workers, child life specialists, nutritionists, physicians, nurses, and research coordinators, we offer a comprehensive array of services such as fertility counseling, nutrition planning, and emotional support. As our patients transition into adult care after age 21, we ensure continuity of support in partnership with adult Hematology/Oncology providers, always striving to meet the evolving needs of our patients.
