To advance our mission...
We commit to helping address the systemic barriers that have led to health disparities for many in the CF community, particularly Black, Hispanic, and other communities of color. We will work toward ensuring all individuals with CF have the opportunity for optimal health outcomes.
This commitment guides our work to engage and support the CF community, and to work in partnership with individuals in the CF community to best inform and enact these efforts.
This commitment guides us as Foundation staff work together to build an inclusive and respectful environment where everyone is welcomed, and where talented individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences have opportunity to thrive.
Our commitment to these principles makes us stronger as an organization, enables us to better serve all members of the CF community, and ultimately speeds the advancement of our work to find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
