CardioFlex participates at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation event

CardioFlex Therapy is proud to participate and support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of South Florida. We see first hand how patients with this condition improve their quality of life with physical therapy at our facility. Some of the treatments we offer for Cystic Fibrosis (CF): Manual Chest Physiotherapy. Manual chest physical therapy (CPT) is the traditional airway clearance technique for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The removal of obstructive, thick sticky secretions is important in preventing infections and helps ease breathing. For this reason we stay involved in our community events helping our neighbors with these conditions, improving their quality of life and creating awareness.

Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. An estimated 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. have the disease. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Fort Lauderdale’s Finest Gala honors our area’s top young professionals for their outstanding contributions to the community and their fundraising commitment to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The Wine Opener - Sip...Savor...Cure!

CardioFlex is proud to support The Wine Opener – Sip…Savor…Cure benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This event takes place on Friday, October 20, 2017 at the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton, FL.

When his son, Nicholas, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Sal Capano became a dedicated and determined volunteer for the CF Foundation. He created the Care Today…Cure Tomorrow event and never missed an opportunity to educate the world about CF and recruit people to help in his quest to raise funds and find a cure for Nicholas and everyone else who battles the disease. Sal Capano passed away in 2007. In tribute, his wife Lauri and a group of Sal’s friends, affectionately known as “Sal’s Pals,” continued his “Care Today…Cure Tomorrow event in the Spirit of Sal Capano” to help raise funds for CF research.

Seven years ago, event chairs Lauri Capano, David Greenberg and Michael Rankin added a wine-tasting element to the dinner event and created what we know today as “The Wine Opener. Sip…Savor…Cure!” On October 20, 2017, in addition to enjoying rich cuisines, fine wines and the opportunity to dance the night away, event guests will be on hand to help us honor South Florida’s Finest Couples.
