Our Story
The Fort Worth AYA Oncology Coalition is a dedicated community of healthcare professionals, young adult cancer survivors, families, advocates, and volunteers. This coalition was established to address the unique medical and psychosocial challenges faced by adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer, specifically those aged 15 to 39. In May 2016, the coalition opened America’s first community-supported AYA oncology inpatient unit and infusion center in Fort Worth, TX, providing essential age-relevant treatment.
