In May 2016, we opened America’s first community-supported AYA oncology inpatient unit and infusion center for patients ages 18 to 29.
Located inside Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth, the unit provides an age-relevant treatment “home” for young adults, ages 18 to 29, diagnosed with cancer in our community.
“What the Fort Worth Adolescent and Young Adult Coalition have achieved is a model of good practice for the region’s young people with cancer, one that will be the envy of community hospitals throughout the USA. I commend the Fort Worth community’s spirit of collaboration, for delivering a world-class facility and most of all, for putting young patients and their families first.”
