Cleveland Clinic has generously provided the following list of consolidated links as a resource for patients with lymphedema on this site. This listing also includes a number of lymphedema articles on their physician website, ConsultQD. While the content on ConsultQD can be complex and sometimes graphic to the general public, some patients – especially those who struggle to find information on their condition – have found it helpful.
As shared on World Lymphedema Day 2021, the Center for Lymphedema Research and Reconstruction at Cleveland Clinic is a resource for Lymphie Strong thanks to the efforts of Dr. Wei F. Chen.
We strive to not just helping individual lymphedema patients, but also to educate the public and other medical professionals to let them know that effective treatments for lymphedema do exist. I appreciate the opportunity to more directly reach out and help on the Lymphie Strong platform!’
