Information for Cystic Fibrosis Patients

An editorial board made up of CF Clinic Health Care Professionals from across Canada prepared the content of this site, which was then peer reviewed. Some sections have been adapted from "The CF Toolbox: an information resource for adults living with cystic fibrosis" developed by Genentech, 1999. This information was developed for Adult CF patients, but adolescent patients and patient families will also find this information quite useful, as all age groups face most of the same issues.
