The Maine Lymphedema Network Joins the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center
   We are pleased to announce that we have joined the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center (BCWCRC) in Ellsworth Maine. The BCWCRC has been home, physically and in sprit to the MLN. We share a similar mission of education and support of patients. As the lymphedema committee for the Board of the BCWCRC, our work can continue in consort with the center.
   The MLN has been a pioneer in the remarkable social, political and medical progress made in the lymphedema field in Maine. This organization has served as an essential catalyst for unprecedented growth in public awareness, and in the evolution of the informed medical consumer and the empowered patient.
   Since it’s founding in 1999, MLN has carried out its education, outreach and advocacy mission through comprehensive and innovative programs. The organization has been widely recognized for its Manual Lymphatic Drainage Certification program, it’s lecture series and it’s availability as a resource for patients in Maine.
   Although the MLN’s mission is not yet fully accomplished, much has been achieved. Where challenges remain, we are confident that collaborative community efforts will succeed. All of us at the MLN thank you for your support, encouragement and commitment. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with you in our independent non-profit status and we look forward in continuing to work with you to provide this valuable resource as a committee of the BCWCRC.

Thank you,
The Board of Directors
