Breathe In #53 - NACFC Day 2: Mental Health, Inflammation, Infections and Networking

Breathe In: A Cystic Fibrosis Podcast

The trio is not only joined by Amy again, but also Darcy today. For those of you who may be new to the podcast, Darcy, who doesn't have CF, is Gunnar's partner and a licensed social worker (LMSW). Darcy joins the podcast LIVE from NACFC in Denver. She gives her perspective on being at the conference and all the opportunities that sadly aren't readily afford to patients who can't attend out of fear of cross infection. Darcy also shares a little bit of both good news and bad news with the podcast about the state of mental health care in cystic fibrosis. The conversation also focuses on the plenaries from last night and this morning, which discussed infections and inflammation respectively. The podcast ends with a few questions from the Facebook Live audience and a some thoughts from today's co-hosts about how to make NACFC more patient inclusive, while also giving patients the ability to virtually network...like the people who are able to attend in person.
