Patient Education Program

We believe informed patients get better outcomes. Every new patient receives a thorough education on how their lymphatic system works, what's driving their symptoms, and what they can do at home to maintain progress.

• Anatomy of the lymphatic system explained in plain language
• How to perform simple self-drainage at home
• Compression garment selection and fitting guidance
• Skin care and infection prevention for lymphedema patients
• Nutrition and lifestyle modifications that support lymphatic health
• How to identify flare-ups and when to seek medical attention
• Resources and support groups for lymphedema patients in Michigan
