EMERYVILLE, Calif.- Chiron Corporation (Nasdaq: CHIR) announced the
launch of cForward.net, an online resource for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients
and their caregivers. The new site, found at www.cForward.net, offers
interactive educational content, community-based programming and access
to important information specific to CF patients and their needs.
“CForward.net is a unique resource Chiron is proud to provide
to the CF community,” said Craig Wheeler, president, Chiron BioPharmaceuticals.
“Our commitment to protecting the health of CF patients extends
beyond the products we make. Education about CF and compliance with
an appropriate treatment regimen are important parts of managing the
disease, particularly in young patients, and cForward.net addresses
those issues in a way that’s both informative and entertaining.”
The goal of cForward.net is to simultaneously support education and
advocacy initiatives that increase awareness of CF while increasing
adherence to treatments. The site features age-appropriate information
for children, teenagers and adults living with CF. Content includes
educational games, video clips, and moderated chats and webcasts, as
well as resources for CF patients such as the Reimbursement Specialist,
the Clinicians Corner and scholarship information. Registered members
of the cFoward.net online community also receive free or reduced-cost
access to CF-related events.
