In 2004, the LDA is sponsoring its 5th national medical conference--one conference was the first devoted to focusing on the problems of children with Lyme disease. In addition, LDA has become a professional development provider for the State of New Jersey, and offers professional development hours on Lyme disease to teachers. Through its pamphlet titled The ABC�s of Lyme Disease -- which is designed for parents and educators -- the LDA assists the families of children who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The LDA�s LymeR Primer brochure helps people avoid exposure to the disease as does its Tickmarks (bookmarks). LDA's newly published book, Lyme Disease Update: Science, Policy & Law, by Marcus Cohen, presents the peer reviewed science behind chronic Lyme disease in a concise format, along with the steps that have been taken by activists and governments across the country who are fighting the war against the most prevalent vector-borne disease in this country today--Lyme disease.

None of us in medicine today entered the field expecting to be encumbered by the regulations and paperwork that exist today �� not to mention the middle management who attempt to micromanage patient care from afar by means of algorithms and self serving medication formularies. We believe it is time for a change, a time to go back to the art of medicine where the physician really listens to what you have to say about your health rather than spend our time tied up in red tape. So for these and a lot of other sensible reasons, we are trying it our way and so far we like it very much. We are very pleased�. in fact we're proud of the group of professionals that have made a commitment to the Jemsek Clinic in order to serve you in this way."
