Review for Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI), Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is one of the best organizations in our CF community,I have been associated with them for over 25 years. .I was a co-founder with Lois Adams for the first ever Speciality CYSTIC FIBROSIS PHARMACY in Orlando Florida. We did it as I had a grandchild born with Cf and no one could really help with the various meds/ supplies needed for the CF families.
Lois was very well trained in putting this together , having been the Director of the local Regional hospital where all illness were brought.
I was the President of the Central Fl. CF Support Group and was very active in other venues about CF. We made a great team...
The CFRI was the biggest and the best and the ONLY one at the time that dealt with the families AND adults with cf. The CFF only did fund raising for research , along with NIH..at that time.

I am now retired , but still active in the Cystic Fibrosis community,as well as LUNG TRANSPLANTS.. My grand daughter has had a double lung transplant .She is now 30 years old .She is also very active in fund raising for the cause as well,.

The CF Pharmacy is not a non-profit, technectly, BUT ,there is much done for families that could put us on that list over the past 30 years..

The CFRI is the most active and and productive all over for the Cystic Fibrosis Communities all over the world..
I would rate then NUMBER ONE...........in the world..

I look forward to seeing them all in the future.......
