Honoring CF Foundation Co-Founder and Trailblazer, Doris Tulcin

We are deeply saddened to share that Doris Tulcin, co-founder of the Foundation and an advocate for people with cystic fibrosis, has passed away.
Doris served in key roles throughout her career ([link removed]), including national president of the CF Foundation, chapter board chair and executive director of the Greater New York Chapter, and three terms as the National Board of Trustees Chair. Never wavering in her support of people with CF, she served as chair emeritus of the Foundation's Board of Trustees until her passing.

Tell Congress: Health Care Decisions Cannot Wait

Millions of Americans, including those with cystic fibrosis, rely on enhanced Advance Premium Tax Credits (eAPTCs) to afford coverage.
These credits are set to expire at the end of the year ([link removed]), putting access to affordable insurance at risk. While Congress may be stalled, people with CF cannot wait. Tell Congress: extend eAPTCs NOW.
