Adult Cystic Fibrosis and Related Diseases
This program offers state-of-the-art clinical
care and counseling for patients 18 years of
age and older with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis,
and related pulmonary disorders. A multidisciplinary
team including a physician, an advanced practice
nurse, a physical therapist, a respiratory therapist,
a social worker and a dietitian cares for patients
in the program.
The program is accredited by
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and recognizes
the unique needs of adult patients with chronic
respiratory disease. Practitioners in the program
work closely
with the Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant
Program at Penn to optimize timing and referral
for lung transplantation as another option
for select patients. The main goal of the program
is to help each person achieve and maintain
the
best possible quality of life.
