Adults with Down syndrome are at higher risk for health issues. Keeping up with routine screenings, blood tests, immunizations and other primary care needs is especially important, particularly with a care provider who knows what to look for in patients with Down syndrome.
The University of Kansas Health System specializes in primary and specialty care for adults with Down syndrome. Our primary provider, Moya Peterson, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, is a board-certified, family medicine nurse practitioner who understands the unique health issues that adults with Down syndrome may face that general providers who don't specialize in Down syndrome could possibly miss.
