"I try to reassure everyone who has been affected by this disease that CF isn't the end of the world if you don't want it to be."
The experience of living with cystic fibrosis is markedly different today than it was decades ago. Thanks to the discovery of the CF gene, the availability of effective drug therapies and advances in technology, the 30,000 Americans who deal with the disease day in and day out are living longer and fuller lives. In a word, they are thriving.

There is a multitude of organizations working to support the cystic fibrosis community, as well as a variety of tools and information available to help people with CF not just live, but thrive.

Patient Assistance

There are a number of programs available to help people with cystic fibrosis afford the medical care and drugs they need. Many people don’t realize that they qualify for these assistance programs.

If you or a loved one have CF and have trouble paying for health care, contact your local CF care center to find out what kind of help is available in your area. Your CF care center is the best source for up-to-date information on health care coverage programs in your state.
