Pediatric cystic fibrosis care

Cystic fibrosis is a lifelong genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. The most serious complications include clogged airways, leading to serious lung infections, and blocked pancreas, preventing normal breakdown of food and nutrients in the body.

About 30,000 children and adults in the United States have CF (70,000 worldwide). Our board-certified pulmonary specialists have managed the most advanced cases of CF, helping children and their families to live the best life possible with the fewest hurdles.
