Slam Dunk for WNBA−Slam for Delle Donne & Lyme Patients

From LDA President Pat Smith’s Blog: What has happened to one of the best Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) players is no surprise to the Lyme Disease Association or hundreds of thousands of chronic Lyme patients like Elena Delle Donne, of the Mystics, who has battled Lyme disease for years. She has been denied by the WNBA league’s panel of physicians as having a health exemption due to being at high risk for COVID 19, thus unable to be paid for exemption status if she does not play the upcoming season.
