🗣️HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS!

EXCITING NEWS! We're launching the AYA CARE Network (Centralized, Accessible, Relevant, Empowering)!

This innovative online directory of multi-sector providers in the Greater Rochester area educated on the unique needs of AYAs will change the way care is provided to this age group - and we'd like you to be part of it!

It was a night of culinary creations with Chef RJ from New York Kitchen at our Rochester Center!🍜

Members customized their ramen bowls with fresh vegetables, herbs, spices, and pork belly. Chef RJ taught us that even on the days you don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, you can still make something quick and delicious!😋 Huge thanks to RJ !!🦋
