For Caregivers

CF Clinical Care Guidelines

To ensure that people with CF continue to experience steady gains in length and quality of life, the Foundation helps its accredited care centers provide a standard of CF care with guidelines. We base guidelines on the latest research, medical evidence and consultation with experts on best practices.

We start implementing IPC guidelines as soon as a patient enters our facility.
