In this issue, we bring you a video about Genentech’s Heroes of Hope program. The Heroes of Hope program recognizes individuals with cystic fibrosis who are stars in their own right for striving to live full and productive lives, and for being role models of hope to others, while continuing to manage their healthcare needs. These individuals excel at achieving their goals with a positive attitude, and extra determination. Visit Heroes of Hope and nominate your Hero today.

We are excited about the new Gunnar Esiason Adult Cystic Fibrosis & Lung Program unit at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) in New York City. Congratulations on a beautiful center sponsored by the Boomer Esiason Foundation!
