American Lymphedema Framework Project

National StakeHolers Conference

from ALFP.org

On March 16, 2009 over 70 stakeholders in the area of lymphedema met in Glenview, Illinois for the American Lymphedema Framework Project Stakeholders Conference. Included in this group were:

  • Lymphedema patients & advocates
  • Lymphedema therapists
  • Industry representatives
  • Researchers and professors
  • Medical doctors
  • Nurses


    The meeting was conducted using an Open Space format and the preliminary findings are posted here. In the next few weeks, we will capture the nearly 50 posters that were created throughout the day and analyze the preliminary proceedings more completely. Once this has been completed, a narrative summary of the events at the conference will be created, emailed to participants, and available at ALFP.org.

    Thank you to those who joined us at the National Stakeholders Conference. If you were not able to attend, you can still participate in the ALFP. Please sign up for email updates in the tab to the left to stay current with ALFP activities.
