Michele and Terry Wright, alongside Dr. Jennifer Taylor-Cousar, MD, were highlighted by CBS4 Anchor and Weekday Reporter Mekialaya White on CBS4 Denver on February 1, 2022 for the topic, “New Tool Helps Bridge Gap in Health Care Inequality”.
As noted, “The pair, along with Taylor-Cousar, developed the Wright Cystic Fibrosis Screening Tool©. It is now approved by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, being shared with care teams and the general public on social media. Once the screening is completed and the symptoms are consistent with CF, people can take the information to a doctor, who can refer them to get a sweat test to confirm.”
“The Wrights say they’re grateful their years of pain weren’t in vain. “We want to make sure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else and they can self-identify. This is taking our story, our journey, and turning it into something better for the benefit of others,” Michele said.”
