For even greater convenience, the 2024 Guide can also be consulted from our website, simply by clicking on our partners’ e-mail and web links. Or use our interactive map to locate resources in your area. A QR code has been added to the printed Guide for easy consultation from your phone. Experience the digital Lymphedema Guide from this link. (English version available in February.) You’ll also notice our sponsors’ logos and a corporate advertisement. This is another first for our partners, who will be able to raise their profile at a time when lymphedema screening is gaining ground in Québec and the RAMQ program is being used more and more. Over the next few weeks, all our regular members – patients and supporters alike – will receive their copy by mail. Our partners, meanwhile, have received a first shipment of the Guide for distribution to their customers or at professional events. Thank you for distributing this tool, which serves as a compass for caregivers and patients alike. (If you run out during the year, please feel free to order some more by filling in the form provided with your first batch.) Finally, we would like to thank the entire community of therapist members, corporate members and sponsors who have made this success possible. Thanks to your trust and support, Lymphedema Resources and the LAQ are shining bright!
