"To be truly engaged in health care, all young people, particularly minority and other high-risk youth, need medical services that are tailored to their life stages and life styles. Project STAY meets young people on their terms and in their languages, so they feel safe and more open to the best care our team can give.”

-- Alwyn Cohall, MD, Director
