The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is thrilled to recognize the new clinics that joined the NF Clinic Network (NFCN) in 2023 and 2024, expanding access to high-quality care for neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis patients across the U.S. and Canada.
The NFCN is dedicated to improving clinical care, fostering patient education, and encouraging participation in clinical research trials and the NF Registry. The recently approved clinics include:
- Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona
- UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, serving the San Francisco and Oakland areas in California
- Valley Children’s Health in Madera, California
Since its inception in 2007, the NF Clinic Network has been instrumental in standardizing and elevating the quality of NF care. To date, CTF has invested over $2.5 million to support NFCN clinics in their mission to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for individuals living with NF.
CTF’s Clinical Care Advisory Board rigorously evaluates each clinic in the network and must demonstrate expertise in treating NF, a commitment to patient education, and active involvement in NF research. This ensures that patients and families can count on receiving the highest standard of care.
The NFCN is also committed to advancing research by integrating it directly into clinical care practices, providing patients with opportunities to participate in clinical trials, and contributing to the growing body of NF knowledge through the NF Registry.

CTF is proud to continue expanding access to quality NF care and strengthening the NFCN. These new clinics represent another step forward in ensuring that every individual with NF receives the support and treatment they deserve.
