WELCOME, VALUED PARTNERS AND SUPPORTERS
The Canadian Lymphedema Framework (CLF) thanks you for your interest in exploring the benefits of partnership with us throughout our 2025-26 fiscal year. Lymphedema is now estimated to affect more than 1.25 million people of all ages in Canada; yet despite the progress we have made together, this condition remains under-recognized, under-treated and under-funded.
The support of industry partners like you remains vital to our ability to deliver on our core mission to improve the management of lymphedema and related disorders in Canada.
Over the coming year, you can expect to see the CLF continue to develop our projects in the areas of research, education, and partnerships. Audience growth and development remains our focus, including expansion of our Pathways Magazine readership, collaboration with other organizations and industry partners, and increasing and engaging our digital audience through Pathways Online, our website and social medial channels. We are pleased to share that we are collaborating with the International Lymphedema Framework on planning for their 12th International Lymphoedema Framework Conference, which the CLF is very proud to be co-hosting in Niagara Falls, Canada on October 23 – 25, 2025. Contact us to connect you with the ILF Secretariat to explore opportunities.
We are excited to continue offering digital initiatives in our Partnership Prospectus to help showcase your brand to our growing audience in innovative and creative ways. As always, we are happy to discuss custom benefits with you to suit your goals and objectives.
