LYME DISEASE ASSOCIATION INC

From the LDA's Website: The End of an Era: LDA Closing it’s Doors in December After difficult and heartfelt reflection, the Board of Directors has decided to close the Lyme Disease Association, Inc. (LDA) in December 2024. In memory of the Lyme Disease Association’s (LDA) president Patricia V. Smith, the LDA has transferred ownership of their LymeAid 4 Kids (LA4K) fund to Colorado Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Association (COTBDAA) to continue this National granting program to provide monies for children in need of Lyme testing and treatment across the US. Please consider donating in honor of Patricia Smith. Donations can be made online or by check to COTBDAA to grow the LA4K fund in 2024, with distributions expected to begin in 2025. https://loom.ly/UzKKtRQ #grantprogram #endofanera #lymedisease #lda #lymediseaseassociation

Finding the right doctor for effective Lyme disease treatment is crucial. A Lyme-literate doctor understands the complexities of Lyme and can provide the specialized care you need. For this reason, we offer a Doctor Referral System to connect you with knowledgeable healthcare providers who can help. https://lnkd.in/eqZuQjnA #LymeDiseaseAssociation #LymeDiseaseSupport #LymeLiterateDoctors #DoctorReferralSystem #LymeDiseaseTreatment

It is with deep sadness and a profound sense of loss that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and long-serving President of the Lyme Disease Association Inc, Patricia V. Smith. She died peacefully on August 17, 2024, under hospice care, with her family at her bedside. Those of us fortunate to have worked closely with Pat may have started as fellow advocates, affiliates, colleagues or board members, but we quickly grew to also become her friends. We saw ourselves as her extended family and Pat always treated us as if we were. Please read the Memorial Tribute to Pat on our website. https://lnkd.in/eRv62Gee
