PFF Care Center Network

The PFF Care Center Network (CCN) is a growing group of medical centers with expertise in accurately diagnosing and treating people living with PF. Disease management can be complex. The CCN is comprised of centers that have the necessary resources and specialized staff to fully manage the disease. PF Care Centers embrace a multidisciplinary approach to provide the most comprehensive patient care. Experts in pulmonary medicine, rheumatology, radiology, pathology, and nursing specializing in interstitial lung disease comprise the care team at each PF Care Center.

Because of the CCN’s multidisciplinary approach, patients benefit from a more accurate diagnosis, recommendations for continuing care, assistance in locating essential social services, and the opportunity to participate in collaborative research. Each patient is considered and treated individually. PF Care Centers work with the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation to actively engage their local PF communities to provide a range of educational and research activities. The sites are involved with other PFF Signature Programs and have established and maintain PF support groups to allow the local PF community to connect with and learn from others impacted by the disease.

In addition to providing outstanding medical care, the Care Center Network forms an infrastructure that facilitates the conduct of high-quality clinical and translational research that is helping us better understand PF, an important step toward a cure. The PFF Patient Registry is a clinical research registry conducted at PFF Care Centers that works toward these goals. At the moment, you must be a patient at a PFF Care Center in order to participate in the Registry.
