Treatment for Lymphedema. The lymphatic system plays an important role in your circulation system.  When the lymphatic system is unable to return fluid to your circulatory system (such as after lymph node removal), a protein-rich fluid accumulates under the skin and causes swelling, a condition known as "lymphedema." Learn about how lymphedema therapy can help move the fluid and decrease swelling.

Chronic Cough Clinic. People often have a chronic cough despite numerous doctor visits, medications, and diagnostic tests. Coughing associated with throat clearing, voice changes, trouble swallowing, nighttime cough, and vocal spasms may be caused by chronic laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Alternatively, prior to coughing some people often feel a tickle, dryness or a dry spot in the throat, which may be caused by irritation of a nerve. Screenings for these types of coughs will be offered.
