2022 Conference

The Art & Science of Surgery & Therapy

Message from the Chairs

The National Lymphedema Network, in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, is proud to present The Art and Science of Surgery and Therapy. The advances in lymphatic surgery, that is, super microsurgery, have been extraordinary! These are exciting times as we witness the momentous changes occurring within lymphology as it continues to evolve and offer more interventional options to people with lymphedema.

The 2022 NLN Conference is a representation of the team approach that is essential to every patient's journey - a collaboration between physicians, therapy clinicians, and of course, patients. As we all know, successful clinical outcomes are highly dependent upon strong multidisciplinary intervention and communication

So we are so thrilled that you are all here with us for four wonderful days of learning and networking. We thank all our sponsors, whose tremendous support makes our meeting possible. We thank you for choosing to spend your time and energy here with us. Be prepare for an unforgettably exceptional conference experience.

We look forward to connecting with you all.

Sincerely,
