The NF Clinic Network (NFCN) is the first nationwide network dedicated to improving clinical care and establishing best practices for treating those living with NF. The NFCN recognizes clinics that provide comprehensive medical care to individuals with NF, foster patient education, and encourage participation in clinical research trials and the NF registry.

Established by the Children’s Tumor Foundation in 2007 to standardize and raise the level of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis clinical care nationally and integrate research into clinical care practices, there are now approximately 70 NF Clinics across the country in the network that have demonstrated their ability to provide specialty care to NF patients and their families. Any NF clinic can apply to be a part of the clinic network. Applications are reviewed and accepted or declined by the CTF Clinical Care Advisory Board based on multiple factors, including NF expertise, patient volume, multidisciplinary approach, research support and connections with CTF.
