An essential part of managing lymphedema (LE) is to wear compression garments, often for life. Most compression garments are NOT yet covered under Medicare or health insurances therefore those people having financial hardship have to go without. Without compression wear, serious medical complications may occur leading to a spiraling decline in health. Our Garment Support program will help pay for the compression garments and support bandages these people desperately need. This program was made possible using generous donations from our friends and supporters. Our funds are limited and will serve on a first come basis. 

1. To provide compression garments and medical support bandages free or subsidized to the residents of Hawaii. 

2. To empower people to take ownership and control of their lymphedema by providing educational classes to those enrolled in the program.

To qualify for assistance under our Garment Support program each applicant will: 

1. Be assessed and measured by a Certified Lymphedema therapist (CLT), 

2. Agree to enroll in our wellness program and complete a quality-of-life survey before and after the program, 

3. Be living on Oahu * exceptions may be made for those living on neighbor islands, provided they are under the care of a CLT who is affiliated with LymphaCare Hawaii. 

4. Have a written diagnosis of lymphedema by a medical professional requiring medical grade compression. One application / person / year.
