neighborhood news

Dear neighbors,
I hope you are all enjoying a good start to the new year! I have copied below a note from Julia Wagner, a neighbor on Tanglewood. For those of you who are new to the neighborhood, Julia and her family have suffered from Lyme's disease in the past years and she has really gotten involved in the effort to fight for recognition/diagnosis and spread information about the disease. Please consider taking the survey below - whether you have had Lyme disease or not. Note there is a deadline of Feb 29th. I'm sure Julia would welcome questions or comments at her email address if you have some!

Thank you,
Carol Pfister

 This survey is being conducted by the Pennsylvania Lyme disease Awareness Committee (PLDAC).  The PDLAC is a collaboration of the Chester/Delaware Farm Bureau, the Lyme Disease Association of Southeastern PA, Inc. and the Chester County health Department.  The committee is dedicated to educating residents on the risks, prevention, symptoms, and treatment options of Lyme disease and promoting federal and state legislative initiatives that provide funds for research and treatment of Lyme disease and protection of physicians.

Results from the survey will be used to educate policymakers about the true impact of Lyme disease in the daily life of Pennsylvania residents and help further educate residents about the disease.

This survey is open to the general public and should take 5-10 minutes.  Your participation in this survey will be fully anonymous and you have the right to leave questions unanswered. Please forward to any and all groups.
