Cystic Fibrosis Centers

Comprehensive Care and Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder and most people who have it will be diagnosed in the early stages of life. This condition creates a buildup of mucus in the lungs and airways, trapping bacteria and making the patient more susceptible to infection.

Our clinics treat both adult and pediatric patients, providing families with quality care and referrals to community resources that can aid in their treatment.

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment and management can allow patients to live a comfortable, independent lifestyle without complication. Finding a treatment center with a medical staff you can trust and rely on is a key part of the process.

Diagnosing Cystic Fibrosis

Currently, every state in the U.S. screens newborns for cystic fibrosis through a genetic test or blood test. Managing cystic fibrosis will be a lifelong endeavor, so having the condition diagnosed at infancy makes it easier for the individual to create a lifestyle that accommodates treatment.

At our Cystic Fibrosis Centers, we provide:

  • Cystic fibrosis testing and screening
  • Consultations with parents who have a positive newborn screening
  • Education on nutrition and cystic fibrosis management
  • Counseling services
  • Life-long follow up care
  • Services for families caring for loved ones who have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
  • Patient checkups at least every three months for pulmonary function tests, throat cultures and consultations

Available Treatment

Our cystic fibrosis centers are some of the best in the state.
