Montgomery County Chapter

In an effort to respond to the growing needs of Lyme patients in Maryland, the National Capital Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Association has established a patient/caregiver support group in Montgomery County, MD.  Lyme patients and their families now have an additional choice and more flexibility for support in this region. Consult our website for all chapter meeting times and locations www.natcaplyme.org

The Montgomery County chapter meets the third Monday of each month from 6:30-8:30pm, at Healthtrax Fitness and Wellness Center in Germantown, Maryland.  Healthrax is located right off of Exit 16 (toward Damascus) of I-270 in Germantown. The address is 20500 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, MD 20874. The meetings will be held in the second floor conference room.

The chapter will be led by Julia Rice. Julia, a native of Maryland, has a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and has worked as a nurse in a wide variety of settings for thirty years.  She is currently on the board of The National Capital Lyme Disease Association and spends much of her time helping patients with Lyme and tick-borne diseases. Julia has daily interaction with many different people, and as her knowledge of Lyme has increased, she has had the opportunity to become an advocate for many in the Washington, D.C. area, especially Montgomery County.
