Lipedema Ontario
At Lipedema Ontario, we believe that collaboration is the key to change. Formed in 2023, we are working hard to be the voice of the many people living with lipedema in this province.
With a population of nearly 7,900,000 females in Ontario, and an estimated 11% of them with lipedema, that means over 860,000 people in this province may need support.
We are intent on educating health professionals, government and the public about lipedema, its symptoms, and its challenges to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Home to our country’s capital, we aim to make our voice resonate with those who can help make change happen.
