About The Event

Project Lyme is hosting an informative webinar to shine a light on the critical importance of testing for Lyme disease, co-infections, and other tick-borne illnesses. As awareness grows, so does the understanding that current diagnostic tests often fall short in accuracy, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses. This webinar aims to educate the public on the limitations of traditional testing methods and explore alternative approaches that offer greater reliability. Featured expert Nicole Bell from Galaxy Diagnostics will share her in-depth knowledge on cutting-edge testing.

About The Host

Ali Moresco is the founder of Moresco Public Relations + Communications. Once focusing on entertainment PR and talent relations, Moresco made a pivot to healthcare PR four years ago when her world was turned upside down by an undiagnosed illness. It took her two years and eight specialists to find a doctor who would eventually crack the case — multiple complex chronic diseases and tick-borne diseases. Fortunately, Moresco pulls her experience living with chronic disease and “professional patient” skills to provide clients with experience-backed communications strategies in building loyal, long-lasting relationships with both media and patient communities.
