Comments:

LEAPS is primarily an information-sharing group. The supportive meetings are designed to empower each of us with information about available resources and treatment options. We also serve to provide connections among members to alleviate the social isolation that often results from the fatigue, pain, and cognitive disruptions that Lyme can cause.
Meetings are at the "CC" Conference Room at Alta Bates Medical Center, Herrick Campus, is located at 2001 Dwight Way, Berkeley, between Shattuck Avenue and Milvia Street.
Parking is on street at meters or in lot at 2500 Milvia Street (free after 6 PM). Closest BART station is Downtown Berkeley. AC Transit 9 bus runs approximately every half hour from BART station to Herrick Campus.
Enter through main entrance, proceed through lobby to elevator B. Take elevator to Level A. Conference Room is through double doors to left of phone bank.
Meetings begin at 6:00 pm and run until 8:00 pm.
