"With the addition of seven Clinical Associate members, we are actively addressing the critical need to expand access for patients with PF and ILD to the resources available from the PFF as well as connecting more patients with providers committed to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of PF," said Dr. Sonye Danoff, PFF Senior Medical Advisor, PFF Care Center Network. "Our Clinical Associates will extend care to additional people living with these serious conditions and, in collaboration with CCN sites, they will provide patient education, clinical care and research opportunities including clinical trials."
The newly designated Clinical Associate members of the PFF Care Center Network are:
Avera Medical Group Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine (Sioux Falls, SD): Dr. Fady Jamous, Center Director
Chest Medicine Associates Center for Interstitial Lung Disease (South Portland, ME): Dr. Meagan Moore, Center Director
ChristianaCare (Newark, DE): Dr. Renee Dixon, Center Director
Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Academic Medical Center(Shreveport, LA): Dr. Prangthip Charoenpong, Center Director
StatCare Pulmonary (Knoxville, TN): Dr. Eric Weaver, Center Director
St. Luke's University Health Network (Fountain Hill, PA): Dr. Douglas Corwin, Center Director
University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM): Dr. Nour Ass'ad, Center Director
Through the CCN, Care Centers and Clinical Associates collaborate to promote and provide quality care to those living with PF. Each Clinical Associate is paired with a current Care Center member so they may collaborate to expand and improve pulmonary fibrosis care.
While Care Centers offer complete multi-disciplinary care on site, Clinical Associates may refer patients for procedures or services they are unable to offer. Clinical Associates actively participate in the CCN in working groups and committees, including the Nurse and Allied Health Network, which provides professional development and networking opportunities.
More than 250,000 Americans are living with PF and ILD and over 50,000 new cases are diagnosed annually. There are over 200 types of ILD, which are characterized by varied amounts of inflammation, scarring, or both. This damages the ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen from the air. PF means scarring of the lung and can be seen in many types of ILD.
