Community Networks
Introduction
Lymphedema Awareness Foundation (LAF) Community Networks continue to be a very important avenue to share information with Lymphatic Therapists, physicians, patients and their families, about living with lymphedema. LAF Support groups provide speakers and events that assist patients with education, products for lymphedema, legislative and insurance help, and the knowledge that they are not going through this difficult time alone. Since lymphedema is a lifetime affliction, it is important to maintain treatment, self-treatment, and have a group who understands the hardships.
Currently are new groups forming in the FL and PR area. If you are interested in being a part of our awareness team contact: lafinfo@elymphnotes.org ~ Candace Bridgewater
