Council Projects

We continue to search for and recruit new ACFAC members!

Projects in Progress

As part of the Stanford Patient/Family Centered Care Initiative, our council has partnered with the Adult CF Clinic developing a support program for adult CF Patients newly diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD).

Through a partnership with the heart transplant advisory council, we are piloting a Peer2Peer mentor program, the first of its kind at Stanford.  Adult CF patients will be matched together for one-to-one, confidential mentorship on issues related to living with CF.  The program is sponsored by Guest/Volunteer Services.
