Welcome to the Lymphedema Management SIG!

Greetings to all Lymphedema Management SIG members and to others interested in lymphedema management! 

We are pleased that you are exploring the website. Here you will be able to find up-to-date information about national issues related to lymphedema management, legislation, and other areas of interest to you.  As you browse through the site please think about how it could better meet your needs and send your ideas for improvement to Sheila.Ridner@Vanderbilt.edu. Please consider using the discussion feature of this site to chat about our common interests and concerns. Our SIG newsletters are online now and this makes them available to you and, if need be, your patients for printing. We hope you are reading them and strongly encourage you to send us articles for potential publication in the newsletter. What a great opportunity to bring these issues to a discussion on the web!  We also want to know how can we help you become involved in the Lymphedema Management SIG. Current SIG leaders are willing to mentor other interested in becoming  Co-ordinator, historian, web administrator, and/or editor of the newsletter.
