3. Educate Vermonters about the prevention of Lyme disease, and increase awareness of the wide-ranging symptoms of tick-borne illnesses.
4. Encourage Vermont medical providers to gain knowledge and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and tick-borne diseases.
5. Provide dependable support and resources for individuals and families in Vermont affected by Lyme and tick-borne diseases. This site is created for Vermonters who are concerned about or affected by Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. It can be difficult to find accurate, unbiased information about Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment online, especially when looking for information and resources specific to Vermont. While many Vermonters are accurately diagnosed and effectively treated for Lyme disease, there are people in Vermont who’s lives have been altered by Lyme disease. These include parents with significant neurological problems, children who are unable to attend school, employees with ongoing cognitive and memory deficits, and those misdiagnosed with another illness. The ongoing debate about Lyme disease treatment and research does not address the experience of Vermonters who are suffering. We hope to increase collaboration between patients, medical providers, scientists, and policy makers with the goal of creating an environment where Vermont residents have access to effective treatment for tick-borne diseases. We aim to offer unbiased and accurate news and information about Lyme and tick-borne diseases in Vermont, and local resources including support groups. Your feedback is encouraged and welcome!
