Every industry and field has its rock stars — experts who move the field forward and help define its progress and direction. People without whom the world would be a different place.

Dr. Steven Phillips is one of these people, a true authority — and hero — in the world of tick-borne diseases and Lyme Disease.  And lucky for us in Connecticut, Dr. Phillips is local.

His work and research take him far afield, but Dr. Phillips practices in Wilton, CT and on Thursday, September 20 at 7:00pm, RVNA and the Lyme Connection have the privilege of hosting Dr. Phillips at Lyme Disease: News You Need to Know.   The evening will feature an overview on Lyme; important information on diagnosis, testing, treatments, and recognizing the different symptom presentations; as well as meaningful direction for getting the help you need. Dr. Phillips will also provide an update on current treatment protocols and a glimpse into his current research.

Whether your life has been impacted by Lyme disease, and you understand its power and scourge, or you are fortunate enough to remain unscathed, this is an opportunity to meet and hear a foremost Lyme Disease expert and leave educated and informed.  That’s never a bad thing.

This event is free and open to the public.

Lyme Disease: News You Need to Know is taking place at RVNA, 27 Governor Street, Ridgefield, CT 06877 on Thursday, September 20 at 7:00pm.
