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.
