Hi Missy, I live in pennsylvania , about 45 minutes from center city Philadelphia. I dont know what area you ar from, but i woud suggest maybe trying St.Christophers Children's hospital or maybe Hahnemann Hospital. If you need phone numbers for these, let me know. Good luck, ~ Diane
Where in PA do you live? I live close to Phila. and I am close to 3 CF centers. There is St. Christophers (Phila., PA), CHOP (Phila, PA), and AI Dupont (Wilmington, DE). We go to DuPont and we know many who go to the other two. If you need any additional info., please let me know. Jo Ann - Mom of Jason - 6 with CF.
Missy,you can go to www.cff.org and look for CF centers. That way you will get a qualified hospital. I live in Southeastern PA and have 3 centers in 30 min (or less) driving distance, CHOP is where we are seen (it's been voted the best children's hospital in the nation for a few years running) but St. Chris's and DuPont are also very good! Good luck, I hope that your child doesn't have CF.Andreamom of Rachel and one on the way
