Alberta Lymphedema Association

The Alberta Lymphedema Association (ALA) is a not for profit charitable organization founded in 2003 by a team of people who recognized the need to help people living with, or at risk of, Lymphedema. A learning association committed to ongoing education of its stakeholders, ALA works to make a difference and empower affected individuals and their families to help manage this condition. ALA works from the patient standpoint.

Members of the association are from all walks of life and have had Lmphedema touch them all in different ways. Our team consists of patients, doctors, nurses, lawyers, therapists, garment fitters and family members. We are dedicated to providing resources and information, promoting education, increasing awareness, and offering support to those affected with or at risk of primary or secondary Lymphedema, their families, health care professionals and the general public.



Our primary priorities will be to educate patients, doctors and other medical personal about lymphedema. A list of persons possessing special knowledge, training and expertise in Lymphedema has been developed and maintained.

Plans include distribution of informational brochures and newsletters to the medical community and general public containing information about prevention, importance of early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment for Lymphedema, to aid patients and health care professionals in making informed decisions. Medical updates, new treatments, and research information will be included in the newsletter.

Please become a member of ALA and join our dedicated team as we demonstrate our commitment to people at risk or living with primary or secondary Lymphedema.
