Support Groups

Connecting on a personal level with other CF patients and families is an important part of this CF journey. The CF Foundation has established several virtual events throughout the year, and there are also community and fundraising events hosted by our local Charlotte CFF chapter.  If you're looking for additional support, the organizations listed below may provide what you're looking for. We also encourage you to attend an upcoming CF Education Night at Levine Children's Hospital to expand your knowledge of Cystic Fibrosis while you get to know local CF families.

Members of the CF Family Advisory Board are also available to speak with you. Contact Us to get connected.
