Providing expert care in pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) is dedicated to promoting earlier recognition and diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis and ensuring that patients receive the highest quality healthcare. As part of that commitment, the Foundation worked with the PF medical community to establish the PFF Care Center Network in 2013, where people with PF can find experienced medical professionals who understand their disease and support services to improve the quality of their lives. 

More about the PFF Care Center Network

First established in 2013, and thanks to ongoing efforts and collaboration of the PFF and the PF healthcare community, the PFF Care Center Network (CCN) has grown to include both Care Centers and Clinical Associates. All members of the CCN have expertise in treating adult patients with fibrotic lung diseases. Patients living with PF can find experienced medical professionals who understand their disease and support services to improve the quality of their lives. Clinical Associate members are community-based institutions that partner with Care Centers in order to share resources they may not otherwise have access to. Clinical Associates join the CCN with the goal to grow into a Care Center member or to remain a Clinical Associate indefinitely. Through the CCN, Care Centers and Clinical Associates collaborate to promote and provide quality care to those living with PF. The diagram to the right illustrates the focus of the patient within the relationships between the PFF, CCN and community.
