The Canadian Lymphedema Framework, in a 2018 collaborative education project with our volunteer Education Working Group, Medical Advisory Committee, and generous funding support from the Alberta Lymphedema Association, developed and printed patient education materials to increase public awareness and patient care of lymphedema. There is a pamphlet and a 24-page booklet available. In January 2024, the pamphlet was reviewed and newly updated. Order print copies above. You can view and download the 24-page booklet from this link.
