Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program
Our team specializes in diagnosing, managing, treating, and researching cystic fibrosis. Our care teams are comprehensive and include nurses, registered dieticians, physical therapists, social workers, and respiratory cystic fibrosis specialists. We collaborate closely with our colleagues in the Yale Medicine Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Center to assist adolescents and young adults in the transition from pediatric to adult care.
In recognition of our commitment and accomplishments in improving care for people with cystic fibrosis, our program received a Quality Care Award from the national Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
