More about Matthew Cash:
Matthew Cash, an occupational therapist and founder of Lily Clinic LLC — Lymphedema, Vascular Health, and Wellness in Roanoke, Virginia.
Matt's path into occupational therapy began through social work, where he first developed a deep appreciation for advocacy, systems, and vulnerable populations. That foundation ultimately led him into a more medically based profession, where he saw a significant and ongoing gap in care within the lymphedema community. Recognizing that need, he pursued advanced specialty training and dedicated his career to this complex population.
Matt earned his undergraduate degree in Social Work from West Chester University in 2003, completed his Master’s in Occupational Therapy at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pennsylvania in 2013, and became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist through the Lymphology Association of North America in 2017, followed shortly by certification in wound care.
In 2025, driven by community need and a desire to deliver specialized, patient-centered care, Matt opened Lily Clinic, a practice focused on lymphedema, vascular health, and wellness.
