LYMEPOLICYWONK: LymeDisease.org launches new patient survey on the Impact and Cost of Lyme Disease.
To participate in this survey, click here.
Communicating the costs of Lyme disease to the patient, the immediate family, the community and, ultimately, the nation increases the pressure for Lyme disease healthcare reform. To accomplish this, we conduct nationwide surveys to provide policy makers information vital to healthcare policy in Lyme disease. Our goal is to open the space for conversations in the public health arena about what is really going on with Lyme patients from their perspective. We are trying to give voice to the patient community, which is all too often completely ignored in conversations about Lyme disease.
Our new survey focuses on the economic cost associated with chronic Lyme Disease and the quality of life impact of Lyme disease.
