Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Compass is a multi-faceted team of case managers and programmatic specialists that provide people with cystic fibrosis, their families, and their care teams with the tools and resources they need to navigate life’s most
challenging issues.
Compass case managers are caring and knowledgeable patient advocates specialized in navigating CF-related issues. Eligible case managers have also received AIRS (Alliance of Information and Referral Systems) certification,
which helps them properly vet external organizations and services before suggesting them as a resource to the CF community.
