Citizen airmen, Lyme advocacy, and a mission to save lives
Known as “citizen airmen,” these service members live and work as civilians while serving part-time in the military. They’re nurses, teachers, engineers, parents — everyday people who stand ready to serve when called.
Late last year, LymeDisease.org and the Bay Area Lyme Foundation were invited to collaborate with the Air National Guard on a nationwide Tick-Borne Illness Prevention Program. We were proud to contribute.
As a result of this partnership, during Lyme Disease Awareness Month in May 2025, more than 100,000 citizen airmen received briefings on how to protect themselves and their families from tick-borne illness.
This included over 100 physicians and 1,000 medical technicians.
These resources were also shared with the Army National Guard Medical Service for an even broader impact.
