IMD Health Global is pleased to announce an important new partnership with the Alberta Lymphedema Association. This partnership will be invaluable to helping IMD Health in their commitment to providing easily accessible, up-to-date digital health education to healthcare providers, patients and their families on the IMD Platform.
“We are very pleased to partner with IMD Health Global to ensure that Alberta physicians, healthcare providers and most importantly patients find accurate and trusted information on lymphedema” said Diane Martin, President of Alberta Lymphedema Association.
IMD’s health education platform is one of the largest in North America, offering healthcare providers and patients instant access to graphics, videos and other educational resources spanning 6,000+ health topics. These resources facilitate meaningful dialogue between healthcare professionals and patients inside the examination room, at hospital bedsides and pharmacies, and during virtual consultations.
“We are very excited to be collaborating with Alberta Lymphedema Association in order to provide our clinicians, patients and their families with trusted information on lymphedema” said Alice Haidau, Medical Content Manager, IMD, citing the need for inclusive, evidence-based health information, particularly given the shift toward digital tools incited by the pandemic, and internet use which often leads to misinformation.
Alberta Lymphedema Association resources are now freely available on IMD Health. This means that IMD’s established healthcare provider network can send lymphedema patients home with resource packages containing trusted information on disease understanding, finding a lymphedema clinic or therapist in the Alberta area, and webinars on lymphedema research, lymphedema and exercise, and more!
