This program is part of Building a Model Community Response to End Lyme Disease, a new initiative developed by Ridgefield based Lyme Connection, SmartRevenue, and the Ridgefield Library, with support from Western Connecticut Health Network, to promote Lyme disease prevention and to provide greater understanding of the seriousness of the disease among all community members. Our efforts are focused on aligning and leveraging a wide range of public and private resources to create a quantifiable model that can be emulated by other communities.
