Cystic Fibrosis Foundation helps Hurricane Katrina victims

Wednesday September 7, 2005
Robert J. Beall, Ph.D, President and CEO of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, believes there may be more than 500 Hurricane Katrina victims with cystic fibrosis. Therefore, the foundation has extended a hand to help Hurricane Katrina victims with the disease. The foundation is offering free drugs to all CF patients affected by Hurricane Katrina. If you or a loved one has CF and are in need of medications due to Hurricane Katrina, you can call the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at 1-800-FIGHT-CF or visit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation online to get more information.
