I unfortunately must bring you the bittersweet news that Jaime Croley has stepped down as the coordinator of our Cystic Fibrosis Center and will be leaving for a new positon. Jaime has been offered a promotion within Michigan State University Health Care, which based on her capabilities, is long overdue. Jamie has been a dedicated member of both are Cystic Fibrosis Center and the cystic fibrosis community in Lansing. Her dedication to those with CF was seemingly endless.  She delivered needed supplies to people’s homes, walked thirty miles to raise awareness, sat on the board to CF Fighters and fought tirelessly for our Center to get the resources it needed from MSU. She spent over a decade in service at the cystic fibrosis center and for that we will be eternally grateful. She formed deep and lasting relationships with patients that allowed her to ensure they were getting amazing care.  She is largely responsible for the incredible cohesiveness and family feel of our CF team.  She will certainly be missed. 

Theresa Daggett will be taking over the role of the CF coordinator on an interim basis. Many of you will know Theresa from our pulmonary function laboratory. Theresa is a capable, organized, and passionate member of the Cystic Fibrosis Center. I am certain she will ably step into the void of Jaime’s departure.
