Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health flu-related visitor restrictions have been lifted. However, because babies, especially those who are ill or premature, are at higher risk of serious complications if they get the flu, visitation restrictions are still in place for all Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) until further notice.
Young adults who are born with congenital urologic conditions often have a unique medical history that may include multiple surgeries affecting their urogenital system and their sexual and reproductive functions. As they mature, these patients can continue their care at the Riley at IU Health Transitional Adolescent & Young Adult Urology Program.
Our goal is to provide uninterrupted, developmentally appropriate urologic care to young adults who have been treated for urologic conditions since childhood. Patients ages 18 and older often feel more comfortable continuing their treatment in a familiar environment, cared for by a team of specialists that understands their history and their age-appropriate needs.
The Transitional Adolescent & Young Adult Urology Program offers treatment and care plans based on each patient’s unique medical history. Our patients have varying levels of independence and are offered a wide range of care options. Some patients have developmental delays and have caregivers who participate in their care, while others are adults who care for themselves and live independently.
Urologists at Riley at IU Health are experienced specialists who can manage care for patients with multiple surgeries, medical conditions and mobility issues that may impact treatment of their urologic condition. We consider each person’s quality of life, personal goals, social and living situation, and access to support from friends and family.
