Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Today, because of improved medical treatments and care, more than half of people with CF are 18 and older. Many people with CF can expect to live healthy, fulfilling lives into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.1

CF patients may require IV anti-infectives to treat lung infections. They may also require enteral or parenteral nutrition to prevent malnutrition, assist with proper weight gain, and to maintain energy and strength as the disease progresses. ​We can provide these services safely in the home.

We also help educate patients on the importance of preventing infection and good nutrition.
