This year, we recognize that each of us has the power to make a difference, no matter how small, and that by working together, we can make significant progress in lowering cancer's global effect. It's all about recognizing and comprehending the global disparities in cancer care that cost lives. Some of the characteristics that might have a detrimental impact on care are income, education, geography, and bias based on race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and lifestyle. Everyone is affected by this divide.

This year's goal is to change the existing norm while also assisting in the reduction of stigma. That is how we can begin to envision a new way of doing things and a much more equitable future. To do so, we must listen to the perspectives of cancer patients and families, and allow their experiences to drive our thoughts and actions. People should live healthier lives and have better access to health and cancer services in the future, regardless of where they are born, work, or live. 

If we work together, we can close the care gap.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
