The LTA was recently endorsed by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation! This is an important milestone for us because it is the first physicians group to join our list of supporting organizations.
Several changes and additions have been made to our website:
The Lymphedema Advocacy Group has gained four new board members this year, whose bios can be read on the About Us page.
Our Resources page, where you can find a listing of lymphedema events, links to provider directories, and much more, has moved to a new location.
And we now have a page dedicated to our new Advocacy Handbook, which has step-by-step instructions and advice on how to secure your own Representative as one of our cosponsors. It’s easier to do than you might imagine!
We need help spreading the word, and will gladly send you free information cards to distribute in your area. You can place your order now by clicking here, or in the future by following the link on our Raising Awareness page.
And we’d love for you to join us in Washington, DC at our 2014 Lymphedema Lobby Days, September 7th-9th. No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome. The more participants we have, the more offices we can visit, and the more support we can raise for the LTA! Complete information is available on the Lobby Days page of our website. We are just a bit more than three months out, so please don’t delay in registering if you plan to join us.
Thank you for your continued support!
