Lymphedema is an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid in a body part resulting in swelling.

If you or someone you know has swelling in the legs that cannot be relieved, or if you had cancer surgery with lymph node removal and/or radiation therapy you may have or are at risk to develop lymphedema.

At this free public seminar you will learn risk reduction strategies, current treatment for lymphedema, and how early diagnosis and treatment can help to manage this often unrecognized condition.

20.8 million People in the United States have diabetes. Yet nearly one-third of those people are unaware that they have this serious and chronic disease. If the condition is left untreated, it can cause very serious complications, including heart and vascular disease, and kidney, eye and nerve damage. Many people may not have symptoms, so early detection is important to diagnose the condition and prevent harmful complications. The key is proper education and awareness of what to do to reduce your risks.
