About Us!
The Transitional Care Project team is part of a larger UCLA-based undergraduate organization, Patient Health Advocates (PHA), that serves patients and families within the Los Angeles community. We provide resources to mitigate health concerns that stem from often overlooked social factors — the provision of secure housing, access to healthy foods, access to dental and vision care, and more — that impact an individual’s overall health.
The Transitional Care Project team has partnered with UCLA Health Med-Peds attendings, residents, and medical students to create a comprehensive transition program for adolescents transitioning from pediatric to adult care. The team aims to provide educational curricula and resources to increase adolescent health literacy and autonomy and to promote involvement from parents, guardians, and healthcare providers.
