About Us
The Cystic Fibrosis Center at Children's Hospital Boston is one of the oldest and largest cystic fibrosis centers in the United States and was founded by Dr. Harry Schwachman, one of the earliest physician investigators to help characterize the disorder.
Leadership
Under the direction of Dr. Mary Ellen Wohl from 1986-2005, and now supervised by our current director, Terry Spencer, MD the CF Center is proud to report that our patients continue to fare in the top 10 to 20 percent of the country for a variety of health parameters including lung function and nutritional status.
Partnership in Care
Currently, more than 500 patients receive care in our pediatric and adult programs.

As part of our commitment to improving quality of care, we encourage all of our patients and their families to become partners in care, and actively participate in the workings of our center.

Teaching and Research
Our staff is involved in CF programs within the community, the education of physician trainees at Harvard Medical School, publishing in professional journals, and leading research that is advancing the way cystic fibrosis is treated.
