Session Title: Lifelong Diagnosis, Lifelong Customer: Growing Your Reach in Lymphedema Compression

Awareness of lymphedema has grown exponentially, and with that so has the number of those diagnosed yearly. But do patients with lymphedema know where to go to find compression? Do therapists know where to send patients when they are ready for compression? Most therapists and providers struggle when it comes to assisting their patients with compression and would welcome the opportunity to partner with local compression fitters. In this session we will explore how lymphedema awareness has led to a growing number of patients needing compression more than ever. Don’t leave compression business on the table, but rather learn how to best care for patients and harness that business lifelong.
