Who We Are

Staci and Rich Grodin founded Turn the Corner Foundation in February of 2002. Staci has suffered from Lyme disease since 1994 and through her diagnosis and treatment over the past eleven years, she has uncovered a strong need for research and funding in the area of tick-borne diseases.

Lyme disease is growing at four times the rate of AIDS and is quickly becoming our nation's most misdiagnosed and fastest-growing infectious disease. Educating the public and physicians regarding the disease and the progression of treatment is essential.



Mission

Turn the Corner is dedicated to the support of research, education, awareness and innovative treatments for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.



How Turn the Corner Will Make a Difference

The Foundation intends to make grants to medical associations, hospitals, colleges and other research organizations to advance, by clinical study, laboratory research, data gathering and other research methods, knowledge of the causes, progression and treatment of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.
