In 2014, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and advocates across the country played a vital role in shaping issues important to the CF community. CF advocates attended more than 500 meetings with elected officials and sent them more than 60,000 messages advocating on behalf of people with CF.
A comprehensive, updated resource to assist the cystic fibrosis community with infection prevention and control practices is now available online. “Infection Prevention and Control Guideline for Cystic Fibrosis: 2013 Update” will also be published in the August print edition of Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, the official journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
