Her article, titled "The Viewpoint of a Lymphedema Clinician on Nutrition Regarding the Evaluation and Education of Patients Diagnosed with Lymphedema," explores the essential role of nutrition in lymphedema care and the need for enhanced clinician training in this area. Drawing on clinical insight and survey data, Tammy highlights gaps in formal nutritional education for lymphedema therapists and emphasizes the growing importance of holistic, interdisciplinary care. Her work adds an important voice to the conversation on improving patient outcomes through comprehensive treatment strategies. 👏 Please join us in recognizing Tammy's contribution to advancing lymphedema care through research and advocacy! 🔗 Read More About Veins and Lymphatics National Lymphedema Network 2229 Bridge Avenue #667Point Pleasant, NJ 08742 (800)-541-3259 If you would like to unsubscribe: please click here Copyright © 2025 National Lymphedema Network, All rights reserved.
