MPNforum Magazine

List of Recommended Hematologists

Behind the scenes a small army of patients, caregivers, researchers, cartoonists, hematologists. designers and programmers have brought us the MPNforum publications and events.   Most are completely invisible. Now, after a decade of service, Ellen Jacquart, one of the original MPNforum Board Members and editor of the List of Patient Recommended Hematologists is preparing to step down.

Before looking over her latest compilation of the List, consider for a moment what she has done for us.

The List has been a lifeline for over 200.000 MPN patients worldwide…easily the most visited page in every issue of the Magazine and likely the most popular MPN page ever published. Each edition requires fact checking and data entry.  Ellen organizes arriving entries before sorting candidates and compiling the List in HTML code to send over to MPNforum production.   As with all contributors to the Forum, her work is entirely voluntary.

Back in March, 2012  we announced a new service for the MPN Community.   Here’s the original announcement:

“In the April issue of MPNforum we will be publishing a page launching a new service, The List, managed for us by Board Member Ellen Jacquart. Publishing a list of recommended hematologists, by location, enables MPN patients — whether newly diagnosed, traveling, or seeking a second opinion — to find support from those of us who need and use those services. You’re welcome to recommend more than one hematologist who, in your experience, warrants inclusion in The List.”

Are you looking for an important MPN Community service job? 

Ellen is getting ready to move on. She produced a detailed protocol to enable a new Editor to step in and handle updates for the next generation of the List.   She will also be available to support the new editor and answer questions along the way.
If you’d like to consider volunteering, let us know at ourMPNforum@gmail.com.  Please give us a good time to get back in touch with you.

Once you’re diagnosed with an MPN, you quickly learn your hematologist is one of the most important people in your life. And you also know that a hematologist familiar with MPNs is a rare commodity. When you find one who understands this disease, communicates well enough to helpyou understand it, listens to your symptoms with empathy, and provides helpful advice and treatments – well, you have hit the hematological jackpot. We’d like everyone to know about these fine doctors and to do that we’re publishing an on-going list of recommended hematologists, openly available for review.

You can recommend your doctor here.
