Since the CLF was founded in 2009, we've delivered on our vision and mission through our projects in the areas of education, research, and partnerships across Canada.

Our 15th year of operation wrapped up on March 31, 2024, and we wanted to share with you a summary of our work and its impact over the past year.

Through the CLF’s social media accounts, website, and eNews campaigns, we connect with patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, decision makers, industry stakeholders, and the public to help raise awareness around the needs of those affected by lymphedema.

Events & awareness campaigns

Every year, the CLF participates in the global lymphedema community's efforts to raise awareness, advance education, and facilitate engagement opportunities for individuals affected by lymphedema, including patients, family members, and healthcare professionals.

The CLF also hosts biennial National Lymphedema Conferences that bring together diverse groups of professionals, patients, advocates, and researchers to share their knowledge and experience in the field of lymphedema.

In Canada there is a need for more physicians and healthcare workers to diagnose and treat individuals living with lymphedema. Recognizing these gaps, the CLF has strategically partnered with other organizations to develop programs and share resources aimed at addressing these critical education and awareness needs and to help bridge existing disparities in lymphedema care and education.
