Iowa Lyme Disease Association – Education

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” ~ Iowa Lyme Disease Association – Education

The Iowa Lyme Disease Association – Education was established in 1997. It is “composed of teachers, counselors, naturalists, accountants, and government workers, all drawn together because Lyme Disease had made a drastic change in our lives. In 2010, we reorganized and added ED to our logo because we are now even more committed to educating Iowans about Lyme and how to prevent it.”

This group was brought “together because Lyme disease has inflicted us, our children, other family members, or friends.”

It is their hope to offer education by offering key facts on Lyme Disease “its diagnosis and treatment and to provide support for patients and others wanting more information.”They take the necessary time to find supporting evidence and research to keep you updated on the latest regarding Lyme Disease.

“Lyme knowledgeable doctors are few in Iowa. We strongly support working and educating your treating physician. Links are provided to search for a Lyme literate doctor. Lastly we provide patient support and encourage interaction among patients and action by patients to support Lyme disease awareness.”
