While awareness of Lymphedema is thankfully on the rise, there is still a lot that needs to be accomplished – from awareness to treatment and coverage. Now it is as important as ever to reach out and connect with others in the Lymphedema community. Here are two easy ways you can reach out and help this weekend.

1. Join or create a Lymphedema support group (click here for more info). Then be sure to spread the word about it. Tell people you know, talk with your therapist, post a video on YouTube, tweet about it on Twitter, or post it on Facebook or LinkedIn. You can also email it to us (at info@solarismed.com) and we’ll be happy to put it in our monthly newsletter!

2. Support HR 4662, the Lymphedema Diagnosis and Treatment Bill. Click here to see what you can do to help. You can also track the latest progress of the bill here.
