16 years ago today, on February 23, 2010, the Lymphedema Treatment Act was introduced into Congress for the very first time! Help us celebrate and continue the fight for better coverage by donating $16.
It took more than 12 years for the bill to become law, but we persisted and we prevailed. The timeline below highlights key steps and accomplishments from the time the bill was introduced, through implementation of the new coverage.
More work lies ahead, and together, the Lymphedema Advocacy Group and the Lymphedema Education & Awareness Project will continue to improve access to care for the millions of men, women, and children in America who are affected by lymphedema.
Your continued engagement is key to our success. In recognition of the last 16 years of advocacy, and because there’s more to be done, please show your support by donating $16, or whatever is right for your budget.
Every dollar you contribute fuels our mission to close coverage gaps, advocate for fair policies, and empower patients. If you prefer to donate by check, you can do so by mailing your tax-deductible gift to: Lymphedema Education & Awareness Project, PO Box 1682, Carrboro, NC 27510.
Thank you so much for your advocacy and support!
