Got Transition is the federally funded national resource center on health care transition (HCT). Its aim is to improve the transition from pediatric to adult health care through the use of evidence-driven strategies for clinicians and other health care professionals; public health programs; payers and plans; youth and young adults; and parents and caregivers.

Preparing for health care transition often receives less attention than preparing for other transitions in school, work, relationships, and independent living. Take a look at the set of Frequently Asked Questions with answers provided by experienced youth, young adults, and parents.
