Individualized Care in Private Cystic Fibrosis Practice
Chicago CF CARE Specialists is Not a Clinic!
We deliver medical care in a private practice setting. As medical care for
the individual with CF has improved over the past 30 years, delivery of care has
started to shift from hospital-based to outpatient-focused.
Our philosophy of seeing each person with cystic fibrosis as an individual with very
unique medical and psychosocial needs has led us away from a clinic model where
patients are clustered according to a “disease” label. Ancillary services are
available based on the need of the individual avoiding the assembly line
approach of many hospital-based clinics.
Multiple types of office visits are available based on specific medical
needs. Teaching services are also available as needed.
