EducateME

The purpose of WPI‘s EducateME program is to create a library of disease-related information for the benefit of patients impacted by post-acute infectious diseases. Included in this category of disease are myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), post-treatment Lyme disease, and PASC or Long Covid.

 

Despite years of laboratory research and thousands of scientific publications, there are few practical resources available to the public.

 

By providing interested community members with a variety of educational resources, WPI can help improve the quality of life for individuals, their family members, and their friends.

Support EducateME

When you support EducateME you put critical information into the hands of those who often leave their doctors office with little more than a diagnosis.  They have no idea what to do next, let alone how to live a happy, productive life with a chronic post-infectious disease.

​

Your donations to this program will help WPI provide patients, their families, and other interested community members with practical resources and expert advice both online and in written booklets.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
