SVB (Santé Vous Bien)

SVB is the official newsletter of the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Committee of Quebec. It was first published in 1985.

Published once a year, SVB is the ideal way of keeping in touch with adults with CF in Quebec and the people who are part of their lives. Its function is not only to inform, but also to present the actual experiences of adults with CF. Through its newsletter, the ACFCQ tries to demystify this chronic disease and give readers with cystic fibrosis the tools for achieving independence. Finally, it presents role models for adults with CF who are having difficulty asserting their personal or professional identities.

SVB has been published in both official languages since 1996. The ACFCQ has therefore been able to reach Quebec’s Anglophone clientele and forge ties with adults with CF throughout the world.

It has a circulation of 3,000 copies (1,500 in French and 1,500 in English).
