The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) was founded in 1990 to provide myeloma patients with comprehensive education and support while actively supporting research and advocacy for the cause. For nearly 25 years, the IMF has remained dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients through our four founding principles: Research, Education, Support, and Advocacy. The IMF has a global reach of 240,000 members in 120 countries worldwide - including patients, caregivers, physicians, nurses, and other members of the healthcare profession. The IMF is a registered 501(c) charity.
