Moving from Pediatric to Adult CF Care

When you reach age 18 or graduate from Grade 12, you will transition from the IWK to the Halifax Infirmary CF Clinic.

You will meet the Adult Program CF Team during your last IWK appointment (in the spring/summer) before you transition. All future appointments will be at the Respirology Clinic located on the 4^th floor of the Halifax Infirmary (HI).

Clinics are held on Tuesday mornings or afternoons or Friday mornings, where you will see one of our CF physicians, nurse, dietician, social worker, physiotherapist, respiratory therapist and psychologist.

When you arrive for your appointments, follow these steps:

1. Register at the Summer Street entrance on the first floor. 
2. Once registered, take the elevators to the right and come up to the fourth floor. 
3. The entrance to the clinic will be straight down the hallway after the elevators to the right. 

You are notified of your clinic appointments via a letter in the mail.

If you need to get admitted to hospital, you will be admitted to one of the Medicine units on the 8^th floor of the HI. Your CF physician and team will follow your care closely with daily visits from your CF nurse and as needed from your CF dietician. You will be in a private room with your own microwave and mini fridge.

We look forward to meeting you!
