Rehabilitation and lymphedema treatment

Nancy A. Hutchison, MD Sometimes individuals who have had breast surgery may benefit from rehabilitation services and a lymphedema prevention and treatment program available at the Piper Breast Center. They are offered through our partnership with nationally recognized physician, Nancy A. Hutchison, MD, from the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute and a team of physical therapists specializing in lymphedema and the rehabilitation concerns of patients.

Dr. Hutchison is among a group of select doctors in the U.S. to be a certified lymphedema therapist through the Klose Training & Consulting Lymphedema Therapy Certification program. She has also been appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of the Lymphology Association of North America. This board provides certification to lymphedema therapists and ensures quality of care for patients with lymphedema.
