The Tick App team at Columbia University is seeking partnership with Health Departments in the Northeast region
This year, we are aiming to partner with Health Departments across the Northeast region to promote The Tick App and, in turn, receive tick encounter data aggregated at a zip code level. This data would help the recipient Health Department identify tick risk in their area of influence.
If you are interested and would like to partner with us, please contact Maria Diuk-Wasser at mad2256@columbia.edu.
