Lymphedema Guest Speaker

Our guest speaker last week was great. I learned a lot that I didn't know about lymphedema. Here is the information that she gave us. You can click on the pictures to enlarge and print.

I hope everyone had a great summer. It seems live forever since we had any activities. Our next guest speaker is scheduled for Wednesday, September 15th at Davis Hospital at 6:30 pm. (see attached flier). Our speaker will be Heidi, a lymphedema specialist from the Wound Center at Davis Hospital. If you have any questions about lymphedema, which I know that I do, this will be a great meeting to attend. I hope to see several of you there.
