The National Lymphedema Network (NLN) is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, USA which deals with lymphedema.
It was founded in 1988 to provide education and guidance to lymphedema patients, health care professionals and the general public by disseminating information through publications, conferences and the Worldwide Web on the prevention and management of primary and secondary lymphedema.
It seeks to standardize quality treatment for people with lymphedema across the United States, provides advice to patients and health providers who seek to overturn a health insurer's decision to deny coverage for lymphedema treatments, and supports research into the causes of and possible alternative treatments for this condition.
Its executive director is Saskia R.J. Thiadens, R.N.
