News

The other components of our Information resources connect you with static materials. The News component can be considered “current events.” Snapshots of the news posts are grouped by Facebook, Significant News, Clinical Trial Alerts and Announcements.

Facebook

Summaries of CFFC Facebook posts are added to this site periodically for those who do not use Facebook. Our Facebook page offers daily (with a few missed dates) links to a wide array of news stories.
