Improving access to lymphoedema detection in Wellington.

Wellington

Many treatments for cancer can result in unintended health impacts, like lymphoedema, that severely impact on people’s ongoing health, wellbeing and quality of life. A SOZO scan significantly helps with early detection of changes that might show issues with your lymphatic system. You can get in early to address any issues, and that can reduce the health impacts you might face.

A SOZO scan is easy, non-invasive and takes about 30 seconds! Find out more about SOZO at hellosozo.com. SOZO = happier healthier people.

In Wellington we only have one SOZO scanner at Bowen Hospital. Staff have been supporting people to access this but we are on a mission to make this available to more people, in more locations, across Wellington.

We are looking to raise $14,000 to fund the cost of a SOZO machine for use at Arc Wellness Studios, Wellington.

Arc provide support services and treatments for those experiencing cancer and its impacts.

We want to offer free SOZO screening at Arc Wellness Clinics to support more people to access this amazing detection and monitoring technology.

This fundraising is organised by Lucy Pritchard, who has experienced breast cancer and Janna Hawkins, a Physiotherapist at Arc Wellness Studios.
