  • Provide patient assistance connecting to available resources for Lymphedema therapy.

Natalie Fogelson, MSPT, CLT-LANA, received her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Northern Arizona University.  She has been a certified Physical Therapist through the American Physical Therapy Association for the past 10 years and is an Affiliate Therapist within the National Lymphedema Network. Besides her training with one of the country’s top authorities and internationally recognized specialists in Lymphedema, Natalie uses her extensive knowledge and experience in neurological PT, orthopedic PT, and nursing to provide a comprehensive therapeutic approach enhancing the outcome for her patients.

Natalie is not only highly educated in the field of Oncological rehabilitation and Lymphedema, but she also understands firsthand the physical, psychological, social and emotional issues associated with these conditions.  She has been treating a family member, diagnosed with breast cancer, who shortly thereafter, developed Lymphedema due to post surgical intervention and radiation.  Therefore, CORAL is designed with the patient’s needs in mind, including private rooms, availability based on needs not schedules, and access to all therapeutic products and services that patients may require.

The CORAL Mission

  • Provide the best medical treatment available and address the patient’s individual conditions through careful assessment, comprehensive treatment plan, and individualized goal setting.
  • Improve the patient’s quality of life by empowering them to manage and master their Lymphedema symptoms.
  • Become a valuable partner in the treatment team (patient, oncologist, radiologist and surgeon, etc.) to better assist in the patient’s recovery.
  • Raise awareness to healthcare professionals and the general public in the importance of early detection and intervention that are critical success factors for treatment of Lymphedema. 

Early detection and intervention are critical success factors for treatment of Lymphedema. Therefore, CORAL is conducting educational seminars to physicians and healthcare professionals to identify early symptoms and stages of Lymphedema.
