Join UCI Health on World IBD Day for a special open house created for young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their families who are preparing to transition from pediatric to adult gastroenterology care.

Moving from pediatric to adult care is an important step for people living with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other forms of IBD. This interactive event offers a chance to meet the UCI Health IBD care team, tour the clinic and learn how our specialists support young adults with comprehensive, personalized digestive health care.
