Jeffrey Modell Foundation

Vicki and Fred Modell established the Jeffrey Modell Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, in 1987, in memory of their son Jeffrey, who died at the age of fifteen from complications of Primary Immunodeficiency – a genetic condition that is chronic, serious, and often fatal. JMF is a global patient organization devoted to early and precise diagnosis, meaningful treatments, and ultimately, cures – through clinical and basic research, physician education, patient support, advocacy, public awareness and newborn screening.
