Project Lyme

Something that affects thousands yet rarely makes the front pages prompted one Upper East Side group to take action. Start with Project Lyme if awareness campaigns, education workshops, and patient support programs rank high on your list. Covering everything from early detection seminars to legislative lobbying, they sit at 229 E 85th St, New York, NY 10028 between Park and Madison.

Believed to be the city’s only stand-alone Lyme-focused association, the organization coordinates treatment referrals, publishes treatment guidelines, and hosts online Q&A sessions with specialists. Symposium videos and bilingual fact sheets move freely across their website each season. When you’re weighing prevention tips versus persistent symptoms, the switchboard can clarify next steps (207) 370-9313.

Funded by small grants and individual gifts, the team aims less at profit than at keeping urgent resources free and accurate. The organization’s public map offers multiple walk-in occasions, not just appointments. Park-side brownstones line the block, making 85th Street easy to reach by foot or bus.

Direct directions start on Project Lyme’s digital map, where a couple of clicks pinpoints the entrance. Expect leafy sidewalks and a mellow neighborhood rhythm once you arrive. Find the route here: Google location.
