We offer adolescent and young adult specialty care for patients at all stages and support the transition from childhood to adulthood.
The Adolescent and Young Adult Specialty Clinic at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital provides specialized care for the physical, mental and social well-being of adolescents and young adults ages 12 to 21. We also assist our local primary care physicians and specialists in caring for teens and young adults in our community. Our expert team specializes in the unique concerns and emotional needs of adolescents and provides a patient-specific care plan. We also provide support and guidance when it comes time to transition to adult care.
In addition to our comprehensive care, we have access to pediatric specialists and subspecialists throughout our hospital and can provide a seamless transition for patients who need additional specialty care beyond our services.
