The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) Secures the Introduction of a Federal Resolution Recognizing March 2015 as “National Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month”

Myeloma Awareness Month is wrapping up this year with the introduction of a national resolution (H. Res. 174) to designate March as "National Myeloma Awareness Month.” The resolution would add to the immense successes of patient advocates across the country who have already received proclamations for their individual states, counties, and cities. The resolution sponsor, Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY), has been a strong ally of the IMF for the past several years, and has also been the lead sponsor of the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act since its inception in 2009. The IMF thanks Rep. Higgins for his leadership, along with the two other original sponsors, Rep. Eleanor Norton (D-NY) and Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL).
