ABOUT US

Though some opportunities like grant funding and patient programs through enzyme pharmaceutical companies exist, they were often an extra burden for patients to use, didn’t qualify for because governmental insurance recipients are unable to use them, didn’t necessarily match the patients’ needs, and increased the already heavy treatment burden that comes with the territory of having a Cystic Fibrosis.

This meant that often those in need just went without, causing vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition.

In 2020, James Colligan stepped in to change this, bringing 13 years of rare disease pharmaceutical experience & 3 years of specialty pharmacy experience to the table. He helped over 3000 individuals receive the nutritional support they needed through managing grant-funded nutritional supplements and vitamins through the Healthwell Foundation vitamin and supplement grants.

However, in 2024, the Cystic Fibrosis grants dwindled to a close, leaving the majority of the patients they served without help. James knew he had to do something.

In 2026, he partnered up with Carla Burke, a Dietitian with 6 years of experience with Cystic Fibrosis and 11 years of supplement expertise, to create CF Nutritional Foundation. Our goal is to take some of the burden of people with Cystic Fibrosis off patients and caregivers by helping them access vital nutritional vitamins and supplements, by helping to utilize pharmaceutical patient programs, by accessing grant-funded nutritional supplements without having to wait for reimbursement, by managing grant funding, and by working with your medical care team to verify you are receiving the right vitamins and supplements for you.
