Dr. Elliot Dasenbrook, founder and director of the Cleveland Clinic Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program, discusses the formation of the multidisciplinary adult program. He covers past treatments and how the new modulators have made such a dramatic difference for patient care, including patients on the lung transplant waiting list. Dr. Dasenbrook also talks about how the need for transitional care, from pediatric to adult care, of the CF patient has become an imperative particularly as CF patients now live well into adulthood.
