In recognition of Chronic Disease Day 2020, which took place last Friday, we called on Congress to include the Lymphedema Treatment Act in the next legislative package. The below announcement was sent to all 535 House and Senate Congressional offices.
Ensuring that patients have access to the medical supplies they need to manage their lymphedema at home and reduce their risk of complications or hospitalization has never been more important.
In our last newsletter we listed the 89 members of Congress who are not yet supporting the LTA. Every additional cosponsor increases our chances of getting into the next legislative package, so please continue to contact these offices and ask your family and friends to do the same.
The list of members that need to be contacted, along with all of the information to call and email their offices, can be found online HERE. We also have a printable handout version of this information available HERE.
Together, we will pass the Lymphedema Treatment Act!
