National Capital Lyme Disease Association gave a grant to the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS)  for the eighth year in a row to provide scholarships to first-time attending healthcare providers to attend the ILADS 2021 Scientific Conference “Vector-Borne Illness Fundamentals Course”.  Doctors, Physicians’ Assistants, Naturopaths, and Nurse Practitioners from around the country were awarded these scholarships and returned to their communities better prepared to treat their patients.
