The Charlotte CF Family Advisory Board (FAB) partners with the Atrium Health Pediatric and Adults CF Care Teams and Western Carolinas CFF Chapter to host CF education events for patients and families.

These events are opportunities for caregivers in our local CF community to connect with each other while expanding their knowledge on various aspects of CF care.

Guest speakers may include physicians or other members of our multidisciplinary care team, or experts on special topics.
