    Wendy Heyer Thanks for the info, however I already looked into that option, unfortunately I am not affiliated with NLN, and my facility will not pay the annual fee. Is there any other ideas?

    Lymphedema Community Staff That is the only garment fund we know about. Usually, if a facility has multiple patients in need of reduced fee garments per year, the fee to become an NLN affiliate is worth it.
