We are a newly formed non-profit against Lyme and related diseases here is Susquehanna County. Working together with support groups, government organization, and hope to build relationships with local, state Colleges, health department officials, and many other agencies too. With Pennsylvania being the number one in new cases again this year, we want to make a change. Awareness through education, prevention being the key. Future plans to get surveillance done in the area to help with identification, and hardest hit areas. The more we know the better we can work on strategies to halt the spread. Education for professional health care providers is also very much needed as we have no trained providers in the area. So while you enjoy the season's festivities, please keep in mind the many that are already suffering from Lyme Disease who may be having issues with not only the cold, but fighting depression, brain fog, joint pain, and internal issues and give a little to help fight this battle with us.
We are an all volunteer organization providing educational materials, and information to help reduce the incidence of Lyme and related disease.
