Celebrating the Journey and
Legacy of Attain Health
After years of dedicated service to the cystic fibrosis (CF) community, it is with deep gratitude and pride that we announce the closure of Attain Health. This decision marks the end of an incredible chapter, but it also allows us to reflect on the meaningful impact we’ve had and the milestones we’ve achieved together.
Our Mission
Founded with a vision to empower individuals and families living with CF to thrive, Attain Health focused on bridging gaps in care, offering personalized support, and building resources that foster resilience and well-being. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, we strived to create a community where every person could find the tools they needed to live fully and confidently.
Key Accomplishments
1. Strength and Conditioning Program
Our innovative strength and conditioning program was honored by top teaching hospitals as an alternative to traditional pulmonary rehab. This program empowered individuals with CF to build physical resilience and strength, showcasing the transformative impact of tailored fitness initiatives. Pilot data from this program was presented at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC), highlighting its effectiveness and significance in improving quality of life for participants.
2. Diabetes Education Program
Through our comprehensive diabetes education program, we empowered over 750 individuals to better manage their diabetes. By providing personalized education and practical tools, this initiative significantly improved participants’ confidence and ability to navigate their condition.
3. Peer Support Services
We facilitated 15 weekly peer support groups, creating safe spaces for connection, understanding, and shared experiences. These groups included diverse options such as adult groups, kid groups, LGBTQAI+ groups, cultural groups, CF Moms, Moms who have CF, and more. This network of support fostered a sense of community and belonging for individuals and families alike.
4. 12-Week Coaching Program
Through our flagship 12-week coaching initiative, we supported over 750 individuals globally, providing personalized guidance in navigating healthcare systems, overcoming financial barriers, and fostering emotional resilience. This program became a cornerstone of our work, offering participants the tools they needed to thrive and live with confidence.
5. Gender Diversity in CF Conference
We were honored to host the first-ever conference dedicated to exploring gender diversity within the CF community. This groundbreaking event brought together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to discuss critical topics, including access to care, representation in clinical trials, and inclusive approaches to CF management. The conference underscored our commitment to ensuring that every voice in the community is heard and valued.
6. Global Endocrinology Summit
Attain Health organized and secured funding for the world’s first global endocrinology summit focused on cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). This landmark event brought together endocrinologists, CF specialists, and researchers to share insights, establish guidelines, and advance care for individuals managing both CF and diabetes. The summit’s impact continues to ripple through the CF medical community, driving innovation and collaboration.
7. Cultivate Fitness Worldwide Athletic Inspiration Day
In collaboration with Cultivate Fitness, we launched a global day of athletic inspiration to celebrate the resilience and strength of individuals living with CF. This event united participants from around the world in physical activities—from yoga to cycling—highlighting the importance of movement in CF care and encouraging a mindset of possibility and empowerment. The day became a celebration of community, health, and determination.
8. Advocacy and Collaboration
From partnering with care centers to presenting at national conferences like NACFC, Attain Health championed the needs of the CF community at every level. We worked closely with policymakers, healthcare teams, and nonprofit organizations to influence change and expand access to critical resources for individuals and families.
