Greetings! I’m pleased to announce two wonderful additions to our website: I’d also like to thank all those who have distributed the Lymphedema Treatment Act
information cards. Please don’t hesitate to request these at any time. We are reliant on your help to spread the word.
And with reintroduction of the Lymphedema Treatment Act growing nearer, we need your help to obtain the endorsement of several important organizations: the American Cancer Society, the American Physical Therapy Association and the American Occupational Therapy Association. If you have not yet contacted these groups please take a moment to do so using these suggested messages and links.
American Cancer Society, SEND TO:
American Physical Therapy Association & the American Occupational Therapy Association, SEND TO:
- APTA - advocacy@apta.org; ATTN: Government Affairs Department
- AOTA- http://www1.aota.org/contactus/contact.asp?deptid=12; select Federal Affairs from the drop down submission form
- Please include: I hope that your organization will promptly endorse the Lymphedema Treatment Act (formerly HR 4662) when it is reintroduced in the 112th Congress.
- If you are an OT or PT it is extremely important that they hear from members of their own organization so please identify yourself as such; and if you are a patient being treated by an OT or PT make sure you note that in your email and ask your therapist to also contact the APTA/AOTA.
Thank you for your support and please let me know if you have questions,
Heather Ferguson
