The Cystic Fibrosis Center of Chicago - Pioneering CF Care for Individuals of All Ages

    Continuity of Care
    With improved cystic fibrosis care, the average life span of a person with CF has
    increased dramatically and is now over 37 years of age. Many individuals live well
    beyond this average, making the continuity of adult CF care of extreme importance.
    Unlike other settings which generally focus exclusively on child, adolescent, or
    adult care, The Cystic Fibrosis Center of Chicago treats people with CF of all ages.
    With a wide network of adult and pediatric specialists available, any unique
    medical situations can be addressed. You will not be forced to move to another
    center based on an institution's age cutoff! With Dr. Boas, the all important
    physician-patient relationship stays intact over the long haul.

    Our multi generational treatment model spans an individual's entire life and
    addresses a broad spectrum of issues:
           - The newly diagnosed
           - Adolescent concerns
           - College and young adult issues
           - Family planning, fertility and other adult issues
