Welcome to our web site!

The Lymphedema Association of Quebec is a charitable organization founded in 1999 to provide education, awareness, and support to those with lymphedema, and to encourage research leading to effective treatments and eventually a cure.

A small group of volunteers ensure that the LAQ continues to reach its objectives, however the slope is steep, the challenges numerous. Your generosity through donations and willingness to volunteer is needed and greatly appreciated.
