Support Group

Lymphedema Resources, Inc. is dedicated to educating lymphedema patients and those at risk of developing lymphedema about their options and available resources.

The Lymphedema Education Awareness Support Group meets in Southwest Florida as an informal forum for patients and at-risk cancer survivors can share their experiences and information. The Southwest Florida group meets the second Saturday of every month (October - May) from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Patty Berg Cancer Center* at Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center, 2727 Winkler Avenue, Fort Myers, Florida. (See a map).
