| Our Mission We are here to assist you. We are here to help teens and young adults get the information they need to live independently, live a successful life and make decisions about health care, to inform your doctors and physicians about your health care and general needs and make information easily accessible to teens who may lack parental guidance. Our purpose is to help the transition from childhood to adulthood, dependence to independence and pediatric medical care to adult medical care go more smoothly. The council is made up of: Adam B, Nicole T., Mary D, Zack H, Charles M, Jonathan H., and Kalie W. Karin Harvey Ohlson is the facilitator. |

| "YEAH" Youth Educating Adults on Health care Advisory Council |
| The YEAH! Council comes together monthly to discuss issues involved in what it means to be a young adult with a chronic health condition, and how best to make the transition to the adult healthcare system. We work to educate other youth on how to handle their transition to adulthood, as well as educating the medical professionals about what they can do to facilitate transition.
