Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting, autosomal recessive inherited disease that impacts patients, families and friends. The common trait of this complex condition is rapid loss of pulmonary function, and typically, the primary goal of its management is to prevent or slow this decline. While pulmonary abnormalities are the major focus of CF care and research, this disease also affects many other body systems, producing a variety of health complications marked by characteristic phenotypic features. Early diagnosis and routine monitoring of CF, aggressive pulmonary treatment and efforts to optimize nutrition and health all help to improve quality of life for individuals with CF.
The Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center at Morristown Medical Center and the Respiratory Center for Children at Goryeb Children's Hospital provide adult and pediatric care by multidisciplinary medical teams, part of the Atlantic Health System Pulmonary Center. Continuity of care is guaranteed when patients are transferred from the Respiratory Center for Children at Goryeb Children's Hospital to the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center. Both of our centers are nationally accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
