PFF Care Center Network senior medical adviser Dr. Sonye Danoff said: “With the addition of seven Clinical Associate members, we are actively addressing the critical need to expand access for patients with PF and ILD to the resources available from the PFF, as well as connecting more patients with providers committed to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of PF.

“Our Clinical Associates will extend care to additional people living with these serious conditions and, in collaboration with CCN sites, they will provide patient education, clinical care, and research opportunities, including clinical trials.”

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation aims to accelerate research for new treatments and a cure for PF while offering support and education resources for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
