Lyme in the Public Health Spotlight: Jennifer Russell Featured on IDPH’s This Is Public Health Podcast

By Richard Warner

As Illinois Lyme Association continues the mission to educate and advocate for the Lyme and tick-borne disease community across the state for Lyme Disease Awareness Month, I’m thrilled to share with you a must-listen podcast that is both timely and informative.

On a recent episode of the This is Public Health podcast by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), our very own Executive Director, Jennifer Russell, was a featured guest and had the opportunity to share her extensive knowledge and passion about Lyme disease with the IDPH audience.

Jennifer's expertise and dedication to further Lyme disease education makes this podcast an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding more about the impact the disease has on our community. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a patient, or simply someone who cares about public health, you’ll find this episode truly enlightening and empowering.

This engaging discussion covers everything from the latest research and barriers to treatment to the growing need for mental health and other public health strategies.

We’re immensely proud of Jennifer’s efforts, and I highly encourage each of you to listen to this insightful conversation. You can access the podcast free of charge on YouTube or Spotify.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our mission. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against Lyme disease.

Warm regards,

Richard Warner
Board President
