Froedtert Hospital
I am Pat Pfahler and have been in the role of RN CF Coordinator for 12 years at Froedtert adult clinic in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I came from in-patient bedside nurse on a med/surg floor for over 20 years, which included all of our hospitalized Cystic Fibrosis patients. There have been many challenges and opportunities to grow in this role but one of our current ones is helping patients and families transition with ease and confidence. This includes saying good-byes, set up with dates and times for follow-ups, getting to know a new team, and increasing their knowledge base to become self-advocates and self-determining adults. I have the privilege of collaborating with our pediatric team at Children’s Wisconsin.
