Your support has helped fund many much-needed initiatives in the world of Lyme
disease. Turn the Corner Foundation (TTC) is so pleased to convert your donations
into programs that make a difference in people’s lives.
Under Our Skin
TTC is involved with the national
distribution of the first feature-length
documentary that reveals the untold
story of Lyme disease. Under Our Skin
investigates the shocking human,
medical, and political dimensions of
Lyme disease and was accepted to
the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival,
Berkshire International Film
Festival and Silver Docs Festival.
TTC has entered into this strategic partnership because this film has the potential
to reach hundreds of thousands of people and it will further TTC’s vision of education
and awareness of the physical, emotional, and social effects of Lyme disease. TTC is also happy to become a resource to people who see the film and would like to learn more information or find a Lyme-literate doctor. We
hope you have a chance to come to a screening of Under Our Skin. Click here for a listing of locations and dates for future screenings around the country.
Dr. Joseph J. Burrascano Jr.’s Lyme and Associated Diseases Registry™
Dr. Burrascano, a member of TTC’s Medical Advisory Board, has been compiling
data since the inception of TTC in 2002 on diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
Results from this critical research will be a key element for all treating physicians and
this information will be published and disseminated worldwide. We are pleased to
announce that the top-performing doctors in this program are Dr. Chandra Swami,
Dr. Steven Harris, Dr. Cheryl Ortel, Dr. Ann Corson, and Dr. Daniel Cameron. They
take this program seriously and we will continue to reward them for their hard work.
Encourage your physician to participate in the database program today and
help standardize treatment techniques for Lyme patients.
Physicians Training Program
This groundbreaking program provides medical practitioners the opportunity to
study with a Lyme-literate health care professional to recognize and treat Lyme
disease successfully. In about two weeks, trainees become Lyme-literate through
watching mentoring doctors in action with patients, reviewing different cases, and
learning their individual approaches to diagnosis and treatment. These professionals
bring this skill set back to their community in order to better care for their patients.
Fifty-five doctors have already been trained through this program, helping thousands of
people with Lyme disease. Click here for more information about the Physicians Training Program.
