I am currently attending the Norton School of Lymphedema to acquire my CLT. I took their head and neck course last year and honestly became a little obsessed with this area and being able to help people.
As a speech-language pathologist, my treatment of lymphedema (including MLD) will stay within my scope—focusing on patients where it’s impacting swallowing, communication, and breathing. At Louisiana Voice and Swallow Solutions, this will be especially important for our head and neck population.
I will be offering education and consulting to home health agencies to help bridge the gap in care for patients with lymphedema. This will include training physical and occupational therapists on treatment techniques, as well as educating nurses so they can better support these patients day to day.
I will also be providing mentorship to make sure things are being done correctly and that patients are getting the best outcomes possible in the home setting.
There’s such a need for this, and I’m really excited to help agencies feel more confident managing these patients. Starting in home health, with plans to grow from there.
If your agency is looking for support, feel free to reach out.
