Lymph Notes Scholarship – National Lymphedema Network
Lymphedema patients NEED properly trained patient oriented, professional therapists in Kitsap County!
Dr. Melissa Mercogliano of The Center for Orthopedic and Lymphatic Physical Therapy, in Port Orchard, http://colpt.com/mam.html is the person who helped us a few years ago and taught my husband and me how to properly wrap my legs. She is a fountain of patient information and goes out of her way to inform and educate.
Now…a Lymphedema Scholarship is available! . The need is great. So – those interested – please apply!

Hello,
I am a Massage Therapist of 20+ years, I have been an instructor at Massage colleges and love the science/art of Massage. I am interested in training more in Manual Lymphatic Drainage with the purpose of teaching it! I am consistently amazed at the results of MLD in my practice and as an aging therapist want to do more of it, teach it and get the word out of its effectiveness…
Are you still offering scholarships? Are they limited to therapists in the immediate area?
I will be enrolling in one of the Lymphedema schools by the end of the year one way or another!! Looking for scholarships, assistance in any way.
I’m thrilled to know of your interest in lymph massage – please contact the number in my article for more information.
I know it works because Melissa taught me how to use it on myself.
Please keep us posted – Lymphedema therapists are desperately needed in our area.
Melissa is a good contact person for more information too.
Thanks for the good news of your interest in Lymphedema!
Sharon
