Adolescent & Young Adult Support through Compassion, Empowerment and Navigation during Transition
The Stanford ASCENT Clinic cares for adolescents and young adults with chronic childhood illnesses and their families as they transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. Through personalized support, seamless care coordination, and opportunities for empowerment, we help patients and families ascend confidently toward independent health management.
Our Core Values include:
• Navigation & Empowerment: Linking systems & building patient & family confidence together.
• Partnership: Collaborating with patients, families & healthcare teams
• Compassion: Honoring each patient’s unique goals and journey
• Support: Providing resources, advocacy and continuity.
