Patient Information

CSF is committed to providing current and accurate medical information to educate patients and their families. The CM/SM Handbook is an excellent resource for patients and medical professionals. All educational material on the website is written by medical professionals and reviewed by our Scientific Educational & Advisory Board Executive Committee before publication. The material is designed to help individuals understand the disorders and treatments in order to make knowledgeable decisions in their care. The information provided  is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between a patient and his/her own physician.
