Our Commitment to Equity, Racial Justice, Diversity, and Inclusion
|
|
|
Over the past two years, we have worked to better understand the needs and barriers that exist for people of color with cystic fibrosis, their families, and the broader community rooted in known health disparities through efforts such as working groups and listening sessions. The thoughtful feedback we receive helps to inform our overall work so that we can further our mission to provide all people with CF the opportunity to live long, fulfilling lives. To better communicate the core principles that inform the Foundation’s ongoing work both internally with staff and with externally facing programs, we are formally updating our commitment to equity, racial justice, diversity, and inclusion.

Take action now and urge Congress to make these expanded affordability policies permanent.
