Who IS THE AMERICAN LIPEDEMA ASSOCIATION?

The American Lipedema Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering lipedema patients in the United States. We are a community of individuals affected by lipedema, along with medical professionals, researchers, and advocates, united in raising awareness and understanding of this underdiagnosed loose connective tissue disorder.

Our mission is to provide support, resources, and a collective voice for those impacted by lipedema, while promoting research efforts to advance treatment options and improve quality of life.

Together, we strive to foster a compassionate environment where lipedema patients feel heard, validated, and empowered on their journey.
