Today we would like to thank the many individuals and organizations who support our work: the advocates like you, dozens of stakeholder groups, our Annual Sponsors the National Lymphedema Network and ImpediMed, and our Industry Partners – L&R USA, Jobst/Essity, and mediUSA – who share their thoughts below.
“L&R is proud to have been a founding sponsor of the Lymphedema Advocacy Group. It is unbelievable to see what a grassroots organization with a team of volunteers was able to accomplish to get the Lymphedema Treatment Act passed in 2022. Congrats to everyone that has been involved in helping get this bill passed – every person’s contribution was integral.”
“We congratulate the Lymphedema Advocacy Group for their tireless efforts on behalf of those living with lymphedema. Passage of the Lymphedema Treatment Act is an incredible step forward for patient care. Essity is proud to support your mission, your members, and all those living with lymphedema.”
“medi USA would like to say Thank You to Heather Ferguson and congratulations to the Lymphedema Advocacy Group on passage of the Lymphedema Treatment Act. medi is proud to have stood by and supported the organization since it’s inception as a Sponsor and a Board member. Passage of this important legislation will support patients around the United States.”
Together, we have succeeded in passing the Lymphedema Treatment Act and will continue our work to help all lymphedema patients access the best care possible.As our House bill sponsor Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky said in the recent press release about the bill, “Lymphedema is not a choice. Access to care should not be either.“
