Understanding Cystic Fibrosis:
CF is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It produces thick and sticky mucus that can clog the airways, making breathing difficult, and can lead to frequent infections. Additionally, CF impacts the pancreas, hindering the release of enzymes necessary for proper digestion, leading to nutritional challenges. While CF presents hurdles, it also showcases the incredible strength and determination of those who live with it. Learn more here.

Our providers take a comprehensive and holistic approach to CF management. Being part of the BCHP patient family means that your child with CF will have access to an extensive team of experts in various specialties, including pediatric pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and social workers, all working together to provide seamless, integrated care.
