The National Capital Lyme Association

The National Capital Lyme Disease Association is an all volunteer not-for-profit organization that is committed to helping patients diagnosed with tick-borne illnesses.  Founded in 2001 with headquarters in McLean VA, just outside the Nation’s capital, NatCapLyme has chapters and partnerships with other organizations throughout the country. NatCapLyme is committed to helping patients diagnosed with tick-borne infections through education, support, and advocacy.  We encourage patients to advocate for themselves in their goal to regain their health.  We offer patient support group meetings, information, speakers, legislative developments, and news updates.  Everyone who is interested in Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections is welcome to attend our support groups and programs.

The National Capital Lyme Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

This web site was created to provide information and support to those persons afflicted with tick-borne diseases and their loved ones. Monthly support group meetings of our Washington, D.C. chapter take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month with the exception of January, July and September.
