Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States. Approximately 1,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. In the 1950s, few children with CF lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s, and beyond. To raise awareness of CF, Community Health Charities invited Leslie Hazle, Director of Patient Resources at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, to join the Health Matters at Work® video Podcast Series. Ms. Hazle shares patient-friendly information on this genetic disease and discusses many of the promising breakthroughs in research.
