Your Contributions help the Lighthouse Lymphedema Network bring internationally-recognized researchers and medical providers to Atlanta for our yearly conferences. Thank you for helping patients and therapists learn more about cutting-edge research and treatments that can improve quality of life for every person.
We now know that every case of inflammation, every illness, every good night’s sleep, and the digestion of every meal is supported by our lymphatic system. Our invisible lymphatics enhance our lives in ways we are only beginning to understand.
Thank you for helping us make the invisible visible!
