The Lymphedema & Wound Summit is one week out, and seats are limited. If you have been meaning to register, this is the week. This is a regional clinician forum bringing together experts in lymphedema, chronic edema, and wound care. Expect case-based discussions, real-world treatment strategies, compression solutions, and practical tips you can use right away. It is also a chance to connect with peers across North and South Carolina, strengthen your referral network, and improve patient outcomes through evidence-informed care. |
