Children's Nebraska Hospital CF Care Team

The members of the multidisciplinary pediatric CF care center team provide diagnosis and treatment for both inpatients and outpatients at Children's Nebraska Hospital. All members and support staff have extensive training and experience with cystic fibrosis in children. For a comprehensive explanation of the many roles that make up a standard CF care team see this article provided by the CF Foundation. Then come back to put names and (maskless!) faces to our very own beloved CF team of Pulmonologists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Dietitians, Pharmacists, Research Coordinators, a Social Worker, a Psychologist, and a Genetic Counselor. When appropriate, endocrinologists; gastroenterologists; and ear, nose, and throat services are consulted and work in tandem with this incredible team!
