Myeloma Canada Wins the Celgene International ImpactHeme Award!

We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Myeloma Canada’s Myeloma Monitor interactive application and My Life. My Myeloma Online Resource Centre were awarded Celgene’s ImpactHEME award for $20,000USD.

The monies will be applied toward continuing our research and development of these important

patient-focussed programs that encourage, promote and support the importance of shared decision-making – patients and caregivers being equal partners – in their medical journey.

About the Award

In its inaugural year, the ImpactHeme Award is an international competition designed to recognize and honour patient organizations that demonstrate excellence in crafting novel solutions that innovatively meet the needs of people diagnosed and living with blood cancers. The theme for the award was Supporting Shared Decision Making in Hematology through innovative programs and initiatives.

We are incredibly proud of our achievement and would like to thank everyone who participated and helped in the development of these programs; without you, this would

not have been possible.

My Life. My Myeloma. Online Resource Centre

We developed this centralized resource to help those impacted by myeloma have, and share in, meaningful discussions with your healthcare teams on managing your illness. It features specifically designed, invaluable tools: a medical visit Discussion Guide, a comprehensive Decision-Making Guide, the Myeloma Monitor (a unique, interactive application for tracking and managing their disease), tips and information on treatment options, videos, and more. Our goal is to enable and empower you to actively participate, and share, in decisions related to your healthcare. If you haven’t done so already, check it out today!
