About the Network
13thirty Cancer Connect, Rochester’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer (ages 13-39), is launching the AYA CARE Network, and we’d like you to be part of it!
The AYA CARE Network is an innovative online directory of multi-sector providers in the Greater Rochester Area educated on the challenges facing AYAs with cancer. We’re excited to bring this new tool to the Rochester community.
One training. Better Care.
Even if you do not currently support AYAs with cancer, you may in the future. Attend our FREE pre-enrollment training to gain new insights, become a provider of choice, and help ensure no young person faces cancer without informed, compassionate, age-appropriate support!
Why is this important?
- AYAs will be empowered to be more proactive about their healthcare.
- Provider capacity in our community will increase.
- Healthcare costs and inequities will be reduced.

A Message from a 13thirty Member
“As a young adult with cancer, I had no idea of all the support I would need as a survivor. Knowing there is a source of resources for all aspects of my life – mental, physical, emotional – makes addressing those concerns much less nerve wracking.”
