Join us in congratulating the Antonio J. and Janet Palumbo Cystic Fibrosis Center on receiving a 2026 Outstanding Care Center Partnership Award at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC)!

This recognition celebrates care centers that go above and beyond in partnering with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to support people with CF and their families through community engagement, education, advocacy, and connection.

We are grateful for the dedication of the team at the Antonio J. and Janet Palumbo Cystic Fibrosis Center and their commitment to helping strengthen and support the CF community. Thank you for being such an incredible partner in our mission. A group of eight people is standing in a line, facing the camera. Two individuals in the center are holding red plaques.

Introducing A Passion for Wine’s 2026 honoree, Dr. Casandra “Cassie” Arevalo.

Dr. Arevalo is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, and Director of the Mountain State Cystic Fibrosis Center at WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital.

She joined the WVU Medicine Children’s team in 2018, driven by a simple passion to make cystic fibrosis care better. She continues to turn this passion into progress by fostering the collaboration and innovation needed to move closer to the ultimate goal: a cure for every person with CF.

In her eight years at WVU, she has found a community she loves, a purpose worth fighting for, and a team that makes the impossible possible.

Purchase a ticket to join us as we honor Dr. Arevalo at A Passion for Wine on Friday, Nov. 20. The evening will also include chef-crafted bites, premium wine selections, live music, exciting auction items, and inspiring stories from our community.
