For help navigating your journey living with lymphatic disease, call the LE&RN Resource Center at 1-855-378-8163 or visit https://lymphaticnetwork.org/resource-center The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded in 1998 to fight lymphatic diseases (LD), such as lymphedema (LE), lipedema (LI), lymphatic malformations (LM) and vascular anomalies through education, research, and advocacy. LE&RN seeks to accelerate the prevention, treatment and cure of these diseases while bringing patients and medical professionals together to address the unmet needs surrounding lymphatic diseases. To accomplish these goals, LE&RN sponsors research fellowship grants, an international patient registry and biorepository, live-stream symposiums, the peer-reviewed journal Lymphatic Research & Biology, weekly e-newsletters, scholarship grants to lymphedema therapists, conference travel awards to young researchers, and a vibrant website with features such as Ask the Experts, connecting patients with the field’s more renowned practitioners. In 2016, LE&RN created World Lymphedema Day on March 6th, which was established by unanimous vote of the United States Senate. Visit our website at: LymphaticNetwork.org.
