title: Innovative CF program responds to the unique needs of adults.
abstract: The median age of survival among CF patients has risen from 14 to nearly 40 over the past three decades, but these individuals have many different medical and psychosocial needs than the pediatric population. To better meet these needs, Atlanta-based Emory University Medical School has developed a distinct program for adult patients that provides multidisciplinary care to older CF patients from throughout the Southeast.
