Beskrivelse

Susan Shanske, director of transitional care support at the BRIDGES Adult Transition Program, joins Lisa Price to discuss a new survey finding that two-thirds of young people wish they had been better prepared before aging out of pediatric care around age 18. Shanske explains why the shift to managing appointments, insurance and medical decisions independently is overwhelming for many teens and how families can start preparing earlier, including how young adults can learn to advocate for themselves with healthcare providers.
