Welcome to The Minnesota Cystic Fibrosis Center!We are dedicated to providing the best possible care and support for patients and their families. Using a preventive model of care, our patients have achieved a higher level of wellness as evidenced by our superb outcomes. The Minnesota CF Center Newborn Screening ProgramAs you may already know, the Minnesota Department of Health recently added cystic fibrosis (CF) to the list of disorders tested for in its newborn screening program. We are proud to have been involved in the effort to have CF added to newborn screening. We believe there is already strong and compelling evidence that demonstrates the great benefit that children with CF and their families get from early diagnosis and treatment.
