Why Your Story Matters

by Heather on November 19, 2021

Patient stories are powerful. 

We can give members of Congress and their staff facts and statistics, but it’s hearing how lymphedema and the lack of insurance coverage for compression garments impacts their constituents lives that makes them care, and inspires them to act. 

Our records indicate that you have not yet shared your story, and we hope you will consider doing so. It can be as short or as long as you like, and suggestions on what to include are on our My Lymphedema Story submission form.

Our goal is to have stories from all 435 congressional districts in the country. Please make sure that your district is represented by sharing your story today. Thank you!
