AYA Awareness Month

Posted by Michael Wridt, Patient Educator @mwridt, Mar 10 7:42am

April is Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique needs faced by individuals aged 15-39 diagnosed with cancer and to highlight care models designed specifically to support them. Awareness is more than recognition. It is a commitment to ensuring that no young person facing cancer feels overlooked—and that every AYA has access to care that supports both survival and life beyond treatment.

The Cancer Education Center has planned some events for the month of April. Check them out here:
