Cost
Treatment through CF Bridge of Hope is provided free of charge and, depending on your financial situation, includes assistance with daily travel to our clinic and housing during your stay, which usually lasts two weeks. We ask you to pay the cost of travel, if possible, from your home country to the US.
We make every effort to provide medication and therapeutic equipment at no charge during your stay, as well as for an extended period once you leave our clinic. Many of our patients benefit from return visits to receive medication, address any concerns, and improve their respiratory and nutritional status.
Travel
CF Bridge of Hope care is provided in Stamford, CT in the US. By law, one caregiver may accompany the individual with CF who travels for care. Both travelers must have valid passports in order to apply for our program. Upon submitting your application for care, both should begin the process of getting VISA applications in order.
Ongoing
During your stay, you will learn about daily treatment plans, proper use of medications and equipment, and nutritional requirements. Once you return home, you will be invited to online workshops that will keep you up to date on best practices in CF care, including a review of the most current therapeutic equipment and treatment.

Testimonial
“With the care of the whole Bridge of Hope team, I found a magnificent opportunity to have a new life. I can say that my new date of birth is January 14, 2020, since I had a new chance at life with the care and annual appointments that I receive from Dr. Sadeghi, Dr. Raissi and all their medical team. I thank you very much for all your help. I hope to have the great opportunity to one day meet your entire management team and thank them for all the care they give me. I love them very much.” - Juan, Ecuador
