BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) today announced that this year’s first Patient and Family Seminar is taking place in-person and virtually on March 17–18, 2023, in Boca Raton, Florida. The event will serve to help patients and their families learn from world-renowned myeloma experts face-to-face while bonding with others in the community. The Boca Raton, Florida, seminar marks the start of the IMF’s return to in-person patient events after a 3-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
IMF Patient and Family Seminars gather doctors, patients, and families alike to share stories and connect with those on similar journeys in the myeloma community. They present a unique opportunity to learn from global leading myeloma researchers under one roof, free of charge. Attendees gain vital information on the newest treatment options and the latest clinical trials from multiple myeloma experts.
For the IMF, the health of the myeloma community is of utmost importance. At the onset of the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S., the IMF immediately adapted its education, fundraising, support, and advocacy programs to virtual formats. Nearly three years later, the IMF returns to an in-person seminar format now with an added hybrid component allowing patients to participate virtually from anywhere in the U.S. and abroad.
