    GOALS     
  • We build awareness across BC and provide information about lymphedema and the available treatment/management options.
  • We advocate on behalf of people and families affected by lymphedema.
  • We encourage patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation.
  • Our key stakeholder groups know us, respect us, and promote us for our unbiased, professional conduct.
  • We encourage and support local, national, and international lymphedema research and development.

The BC Lymphedema Association is here to support people living with lymphedema.  Many of the calls we have received to date are asking medical questions.  We are not able to provide medical advice.  We can offer information about ways to manage lymphedema.  If you become a member, you will be able to view the MEMBERS ONLY section where suppliers and therapists are listed.

This organization is run by volunteers only - there are no paid staff members.  The organization exists by Memberships and Donations only.  If you or someone you care about has lymphedema, please join with us to help bring lymphedema care to the
forefront by educating and advocating for better care for this condition in BC.
