🚨 BIG NEWS FOR THE TICK-BORNE ILLNESS COMMUNITY
Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives officially passed H.R. 4348, reauthorizing the Kay Hagan TICK Act through 2030! 🎉👏
What does this mean for Central New York and Lyme patients everywhere?
🧬 Continued Funding for CDC Research: Keeps vital grants flowing to Regional Centers of Excellence studying tick-borne diseases.
🏛️ Local Health Department Support: Provides direct resources to help state and local communities detect, report, and combat outbreaks.
🛡️ National Strategy: Drives a coordinated federal push for better diagnostics, treatments, and prevention tools.
With tick populations at an all-time high in New York, federal backing for tick-borne disease research and public safety is more important than ever.

We need to keep moving forward in the fight against Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
I’m grateful the House has passed the bipartisan Kay Hagan Tick Act Reauthorization, which I cosponsored to strengthen our national strategy, invest in research and prevention, and support state and local public health efforts.
