Reducing Isolation: an adult cystic fibrosis support group
Abstract
In 2004 the UWHC Pulmonary Care Center initiated an adult support group -- setting forth clear infection control standards. Two health professionals, a nurse and social worker, provide structure for the group. The group continues to meet on a regular basis and provides positive modeling for living with cystic fibrosis.
