PLAN LOGO

Welcome to the NLN PLAN Forums!

We are delighted to introduce our PLAN Conference Call Educational Forums. Having received many and varied questions from parents of infants/adolescents with lymphedema, we thought that the forums would serve as a wonderful vehicle to involve as many of the parents at the same time and they can ask their questions and share similar issues.

Each forum will feature an experienced speaker (doctor, therapist, advocate, other) and discuss a requested topic. For each forum, you can submit your questions to the speaker prior to the call, in order for him/her to prepare for the presentation and support you in your needs. The Conference Call will last one hour. For those who cannot attend the Conference Call, a transcript will be available and posted on the NLN website.
