HealthTree Continues Its Mission to Support Patients and Accelerate a Myeloma Cure
SALT LAKE CITY, UT –July 13, 2022 – The HealthTree Foundation, a patient-driven, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers patients at each step of their disease journey, today announced a name change of its myeloma division from Myeloma Crowd to HealthTree Foundation for Multiple Myeloma. The website address will transition over time from www.myelomacrowd.org to www.healthtree.org/myeloma.
Myeloma Crowd launched in 2012 and in 2018 developed a remarkable patient data portal tool called HealthTree Cure Hub that could advance myeloma research in an innovative way. As the HealthTree Cure Hub is now over 10,000 members strong, uniting the product and foundation names will simplify the Foundation’s services. The same founders, staff and programs will continue the HealthTree Foundation’s work.
Founder Jenny Ahlstrom said:
“We have loved serving myeloma patients as Myeloma Crowd. As a patient myself, it has always been my goal to advance a myeloma cure. We are still driving towards that cure for myeloma patients as the HealthTree Foundation for Multiple Myeloma.”

- HealthTree News for Multiple Myeloma (formerly Myeloma Crowd – myeloma news in patient-friendly terms

- HealthTree Community Events for Myeloma (formerly Myeloma Crowd Community) – topic and geographic chapters with monthly webinars
- HealthTree Moves (formerly Muscles for Myeloma) – a fitness app and fitness events to keep us healthy
Existing programs with the HealthTree name will continue including:
