The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. The LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world. LLS is partnering with the Atlanta community and faith-based organizations to improve access to novel therapies and quality of life of survivors with myeloma. Join us at the in-depth, healthcare provider-led educational program which will provide information on this rare blood cancer, tools to navigate the treatment landscape more effectively and cope with the disease.
