Advocacy

Advocates have been working for many years in Colorado to support those affected by Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, and they continue to care deeply about the diagnosis, treatment, support and experience of Coloradans with tick-borne diseases.

COTBDAA is meant to be a source of information and support for Coloradans in both preventing and coping with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Our goal is to be apolitical, collaborative, science and evidence-based, and patient oriented. We hope to work in an environment of mutual respect, and facilitate dialogue and collaboration with Colorado’s health care providers and medical institutions.

That being said, we cannot ignore the lack of resources in Colorado, or the national controversy about treatment that impacts so many Coloradans struggling with health problems related to Lyme and tick-borne diseases in our State.

We acknowledge there is a need for change. We hope the conversation can be focused on ways to help Coloradans and others throughout the Rocky Mountain Region, and believe the ongoing debate about Lyme disease treatment and research does not  adequately address the experience of the Rocky Mountain region residents who are suffering.

We hope to increase collaboration between patients, medical providers, researchers, and policy makers with the goal of creating an environment where all Colorado residents feel supported, and have access to correct and timely diagnosis and effective treatments for tick-borne diseases.
