The Comprehensive Bone Marrow Failure Center (CBMFC) at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is committed to providing comprehensive care for children, adolescents, and young adults with bone marrow failure disorders. Our goal is for our patients to become confident and comfortable in their own health care, so that they and their families are prepared for a smooth and successful transition to adult life when the time comes.

When you are a young adult with a chronic health condition, you have many extra responsibilities to manage. Decisions about drinking, dating and other aspects of adulthood are even more difficult.

No one likes to think about health insurance. But if you are a teenager with a chronic condition, you must think about health insurance and make sure you don't lose it.
