OHSU Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes repeated lung infections, digestive problems, and other complications. It is progressive, meaning it worsens over time. Read more about cystic fibrosis, diagnosis, and treatment here.
If you think you or a loved one may have cystic fibrosis, please talk to your primary care provider or pulmonologist about being tested. If your testing indicates you are likely living with cystic fibrosis, a referral to an accredited cystic fibrosis center may be made. Click here for information on referring to our program.
A Team-Based Approach
OHSU's accredited Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program is part of a comprehensive Cystic Fibrosis Care Center that provides high-quality, specialized care for those with CF and their families.
Managing cystic fibrosis can take a village, and excellent CF care requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our team-based practice model includes clinicians, nurses, fellows, social workers, dieticians, pharmacists, researchers, other specialists, and, of course, you!
