Within these groups across the United States and other countries, there are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and so forth. As Dr. Jemsek states, “sooner or later” your family will be affected by this growing disease and you, too, will be trying to make a difference.

“In the Lymelight” ~ Florida Lyme Advocacy

Lori Hoerl is an entrepreneur, advocate, daughter, motivator, and comrade. She is the Founder and Director of Florida Lyme Advocacy. She began her efforts in 2004 in hopes to create legislation that would protect patients and doctors in the treatment of Lyme Disease and the other tick-borne diseases. She has struggled with Lyme disease for about ten years.

“In my work as an advocate for the Florida Lyme disease patient community, I had the distinct privilege to co-draft Florida’s first-ever Lyme disease/ insurance specific legislation during the 2004-2005 legislative session.

This brought me face to face with the offices of the Attorney General, Insurance Commissioner, Consumer Advocate, Governor’s Health and Human Services Committee, and many house representatives and senators, in general. Additionally, I met with the state epidemiologist and many others within the Florida state Public Health Department.”

There is now legislation in all areas of Florida’s state government. She continues to work hard to change the ideology that there is no Lyme Disease in the state of Florida.
