    For 64-year-old cancer survivor Patsy Wells, having to drive to Nashville, Tenn., for occupational therapy treatments was an extra chore. But when she learned that she could be treated for upper extremity lymphedema at Muhlenberg Community Hospital, she was both surprised and relieved.
    “It has been super having this available here,” said Wells. “Amanda Halcomb is truly wonderful. She showed me how to get all my lymph system flowing and incorporate it into walking. It’s been great.”
