The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has arranged for over 10,000 home spirometers to be provided to care centers to support continued access to high quality, comprehensive care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nine cystic fibrosis care centers were awarded the 2013 – 2014 Cystic Fibrosis Quality Care Award for outstanding service to people with CF and their families at the 28th annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference in Atlanta.

Michigan’s Medicaid Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee recently agreed to protect access to pancreatic enzymes, after hearing testimony from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and CF care center directors Dr. John Schuen of the Helen DeVos Women and Children’s Center and Dr. Samya Nasr of the University of Michigan Health System.

The CF Foundation’s Patient Assistance Resource Center (PARC) will help implement a new tool for the Foundation’s network of 110 cystic fibrosis care centers across the U.S.

At Cystic Fibrosis Foundation accredited care centers across the country, the emphasis on quality improvement performance standards helps care center staff effectively treat the thousands of people with CF and their families who come to them for excellent, specialized care.
