Over twenty years ago, we established the Jeffrey Modell Centers Network (JMCN) to meet the rising need for referrals and specialized centers for patients identified with Primary Immunodeficiency worldwide. It was our hope that our experts at these centers would improve the quality of life and reduce mortality and morbidity of patients while impacting the field of immunology on a global scale. To this day, the JMCN continues to expand, and we are grateful to see remarkable growth each year.
When we started the Foundation, one of our goals was to increase awareness for PI within the physician community so that more patients would be properly and expertly diagnosed. We are thrilled to have witnessed a drastic improvement in PI patient outcomes, thanks to a significant increase in the number of diagnosed and treated patients across the globe.
Our JMCN experts consistently contribute to our cross-continental network, discovering and sharing invaluable medical developments and encouraging better access to care for more than 285,000 patients. We encourage investigators to connect with other physicians to coordinate studies, develop research programs, and gain a better understanding of genetic mutations to ensure earliest possible diagnosis and meaningful treatment options.
It is our sincere hope that the JMCN continues to be a critical catalyst for scientific discovery and progress in support of our work to support patients living with PI.
