In West Virginia there are two CF Foundation accredited care centers, the main center in Morgantown, and the affiliate center in Charleston. Together the two
centers care for over 200 patients with CF. Traditionally CF has been a pediatric disease; however more and more patients are living to adulthood. Now almost half of patients living with CF in WV are over the age of 18 years. In Morgantown there is now a separate adult CF clinic in addition to the pediatric center.
