Relive the story of CF patient and RT Jeremy Parks
Roughly 30,000 children and adults in the United States have cystic fibrosis, and 1,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Likely most of those patients receive care from a respiratory therapist during the course of their treatment.
The month of May, CF Awareness Month, presents a unique opportunity to help in the education and promotion of this disease.
During May, AARC will be offering its Professor’s Rounds presentation titled “Cystic Fibrosis—A 21st Century Perspective” by Dr. Elliot Dasenbrook for free of charge to members and at a reduced rate of $7.50 for non-members. This offer will run through May 31. Use code CFMONTH when registering.
