Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Program
The Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Program follows patients from diagnosis through transition to our Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program.
Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program
The Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program was established to provide for the care of those with cystic fibrosis as they enter and progress through their adult years.
Multidisciplinary Services
Our Cystic Fibrosis Center is made up of several groups involved in cystic fibrosis care including physicians, nurses, nutrition, social work, respiratory therapy and genetics.
Transition Program
The Cystic Fibrosis Transition Program is designed to help children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis develop the skills needed to successfully transition into being healthy, independent adults.
Home Therapy
Most cystic fibrosis patients prefer to be at home rather than in the hospital. When our patients need IV antibiotics and it has been approved by our team, it is possible to have treatment at home.
Newborn Screening
All babies born in Ohio get a small blood test after birth. This test is called the Newborn Screening. It looks for more than 40 health conditions that can be treated early. Every state does newborn screening. One of the conditions all states check for is cystic fibrosis (CF).
Outpatient Care Clinic
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation recommends at least 4 quarterly visits per year to evaluate cystic fibrosis. This includes a multi-disciplinary approach of providing care at several levels.
