We are so pleased to announce that Gidget Benitez, Health Aide for Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (our House sponsor) has been selected as a finalist for a Rare Voices award for her work on the Lymphedema Treatment Act!
This year’s awards ceremony, where the winner will be announced, will take place on Wednesday, December 14th. Attendance (both in-person and virtual) is free and open to the public, but you must register.
More details and the link to register are available HERE and in the graphic below. During the event, all finalists are profiled, and the legislation that they have been working to pass is highlighted. We are thrilled that Ms. Benitez is receiving this well deserved recognition, and for the attention that this will place on the importance of the LTA.
In other news, last week’s Congressional Briefing for the LTA went great, and we hope to have a video to share with you by next week. Thank you for your continued advocacy!
