Celebrate Your MPN Heroes!
The MPN Heroes® Recognition Program celebrates individuals and organizations committed to improving the lives of people impacted by the rare, chronic blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). The program was created in 2013 to foster the spirit of community. It focuses on the three "classical" MPNs—polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myelofibrosis (MF).
The initiative honors patients, Healthcare Professionals, caregivers, advocates, and organizations. As MPN Heroes, they are recognized for their extraordinary efforts to bring understanding, compassion, and strength to the MPN community.
The MPN Heroes Recognition Program is sponsored by Incyte Corporation. The goal of the program is to create as many opportunities as possible for people with MPNs to be heard and supported, so more solutions and treatment options will emerge.
