As we look forward to 2018, our President and CEO, Preston W. Campbell, III, M.D., shares a special holiday message to the cystic fibrosis community.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation would like to recognize and thank the following members of the CF community for providing their time, expertise, and insights to inform the content on this site.
With the opportunity to broaden our scope, we are opening up everything we do to people living with CF -- and we want to hear from you.
For three years, the Adult Advisory Council has been leading the way in helping the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation reach out to adults with CF. Our work as a council led to the formation of the Community Partnerships department at the Foundation and a formalized Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program, which is being piloted in 12 CF care centers, with more to come.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has an attendance policy for all Foundation events, meetings, and offices to preserve the health and well-being of all people, including people with cystic fibrosis, by reducing the risk of getting and spreading dangerous germs.
When we set out to create the Foundation's new website, there was a lot we wanted to accomplish. Our goal was a modern, visually compelling CFF.org that provides more helpful information for the millions of people who visit each year. But we wanted to do something much more, too.

As we reflect on 2016, we are so thankful to our friends around the country, dedicated researchers, care center professionals, volunteers and, most of all, those of you living with CF.
