Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA)

The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) program in Manhattan, KS, is dedicated to providing comprehensive support and specialized care for patients aged 13 and older who are undergoing treatment for cancer or blood disorders. Our compassionate team comprises social workers, child life specialists, nutritionists, physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners, all working collaboratively to address the unique challenges faced by adolescents and young adults in this critical phase of their lives. We prioritize the involvement of patients and their families in the care process, ensuring that their needs and feedback shape our services. From clinical care to fertility counseling and nutrition planning, we are committed to fostering a nurturing environment that empowers our patients while facilitating a smooth transition to adult care after age 21. At AYA, we understand the complexities of cancer treatment and strive to enhance the quality of life for every young person we serve.
