CF Parent Advisory Group
The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Advisory Group is a committee of parents and adult CF patients that provide
feedback to the CHKD CF Center. The group works with the CF team to advance the practice of CF care and to improve the quality of care for patients. The group’s prime objective is to enhance and optimize the medical care and quality of life
for people diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. In doing so, its members promote an open learning environment,
improved communication between patients and providers and personal empowerment. The group's members, all parents
of children with CF or adults with CF, share insights and information about
their experiences, successes and failures.
