Have you attended any meetings, Town Halls or other events this summer, to ask your members of Congress to support the LTA? If so, we’d love to hear how it went. If you are prepping for one and need help, let us know or visit our District Meetingspage.
Constituent stories are powerful tools for getting members of Congress to cosponsor the LTA and we want yours! We have collected over 400 stories from lymphedema patients, caregivers, friends and family members, and healthcare professionals. Anyone whose life has been touched by lymphedema is encouraged to share their story to help pass the LTA this year. Visit our website for details on how to submit your story.
The 12th National Lymphedema Network International Conference is coming up 8/31-9/4 in Dallas, TX. If you are attending, please visit us at the Lymphedema Advocacy Group booth. I will also be speaking about the LTA during the Friday afternoon session, “Payback: Current Update on Reimbursement.” More information is available online.
The Lymphedema Advocacy Group recently welcomed several new board members. You can learn more about our diverse, all-volunteer group on our website. Thank you for joining with us to make a difference!
