How to Use This Site
The menu at the top of your screen contains several options. Our most popular subheading is "Research," which provides some excellent resources for those wishing to extend their knowledge of the disease and its treatment. Our own personal favorite is "Tributes," where the lives of two outstanding individuals who resided in Utah and who had CF are celebrated, Richard Young and Don Wood. Two other menu options are "Donate" and "Contact," which provide information on how to donate to our institute, as well as how to contact us. In the blue sidebar of our homepage, you will also find a link that provides an annual update on the Institute's activities since 1999.
