International Myeloma Foundation
The IMF is dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure.
The IMF’s InfoLine is there for you for your myeloma-related questions and concerns. The InfoLine team consistently provides callers with best information about myeloma in a caring and compassionate manner. The InfoLine is staffed by Paul Hewitt, Judy Webb, and Missy Klepetar.

In the US, there is a network of 150 myeloma-specific support groups that hold regular meetings. We encourage you to click the button below to locate a group in your area and connect with other myeloma survivors and caregivers. The IMF applauds the efforts and commitment of these groups, and conducts an annual Summit to offer help, training, and encouragement to support group leaders.
