The Israel Chapter is celebrating World Lymphedema Day by displaying posters, distributing information, and manning booths in health fund clinics, offices and other health-related facilities. The posters and fliers refer anyone interested, with leg or arm edema, to appropriate medical services, and state clearly that our National Health Law enables participation in costs. Our volunteers at the booths also answer questions and refer visitors to the appropriate medical service.

Israel Association/ Chapter raise LE awareness at the Sea of Galilee Marathon

On January 4, 2019 Israel held the Annual Sea of Galilee Marathon. This year, our volunteers from the Israel Lymphedema Association manned a stand to provide bottles of cold water and fresh fruit for the runners along the shore. The volunteers wore bright t-shirts written with the words "Leg Edema? There's a solution! Lymphatic physical therapy! Run with it ... Israel Lymphedema Association". Lots of positive feedback was received.
