Fitter Profile: Rylee Fishel

 

 

Experience: 14 months

 

Before I started this role, I honestly didn’t know much about lymphedema beyond the surface level. I didn’t have a set plan once I graduated college, but I knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field in one way or another. Actually, I’ve never really been one to have a strict plan of how things will play out in life in general, and I think that is why I love this position so much. Each day brings a new experience, allowing me to interact and learn from patients of all different personalities, stories, and circumstances– no two appointments are ever the same. I’m happy to be a listening ear for all of our patients and to remind them that we’re here to help in their lymphedema journey in any way that we can. It is so heartening to see a patient positively progress through their lymphedema treatment, and then being able to send them on their independent way with a perfectly suited compression garment.
