The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Program at CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB) has experienced tremendous growth since its inception. This report provides an overview of how the AYA program at CCMB was established and the crucial factors that led to its early accomplishments and continued expansion. These factors included actions and decisions made at the individual and organizational level that helped lay a strong foundation for the program's sustained success. We hope that some of these lessons learned can be adapted and implemented by other oncology agencies to improve the care outcomes and experiences of AYAs living with cancer.
