I have long been driven and motivated by my son Jeffrey’s, request to “Do Something!” and JMF was created with the intention to do so.
Part of our effort to help cure Primary Immunodeficiency has been the founding of Jeffrey Modell Research and Diagnostic Centers, which along with major academic teaching hospitals, provide a place where patients can go for expert care. With well over 200 different locations, JMF has created a one of a kind community that reaches people in all corners of the world.
Most recently, we have been fortunate to spread our mission and continue to “do something” for others affected by Primary Immunodeficiency in Oslo, Norway. On Wednesday, June 18, JMF opened the JMF Research and Diagnostic Center at Oslo University Hospital. Led by our good friend, and excellent immunologist, Dr. Tore Abrahamsen, the newest addition to our JMF Network will provide a setting for excellent care, precise diagnosis, state of the art research and access to treatment options for patients affected by Primary Immunodeficiency.
Over the last twenty seven years, we have advanced the way people with Primary Immunodeficiency are diagnosed and treated, and I know Jeffrey would be proud of all the something’s we do.
