Fearrington Homeowners Association (FHA): December 2017

New study finds Lyme bacteria survive a 28-day course of antibiotics
Press release from Tulane University, December 13, 2017: Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the U.S., today announced results of two papers published in the peer-reviewed journals PLOS ONE and American Journal of Pathology , that seem to support claims of lingering symptoms reported by many patients who have already received antibiotic treatment for the disease.

FHA Heath, Safety & Security Mission

As stated in the Fearrington Homeowners Association (FHA) Articles of Incorporation, one of the important purposes of the FHA is to "provide for the health, safety and welfare" of the residents of Fearrington Village. As part of this important mission, and to comply with the Articles, the FHA works hard to develop and sustain policies, programs, and services that will help to keep village residents healthy and safe.

The FHA HSS Director oversees emergency preparedness, village road safety, and Community Watch information, sometimes working with ad hoc advisory committees.
At times in the past several years, over 35 residents have served in such advisory roles. Their work and support have been invaluable and very much appreciated.

In addition to its communication with Fearrington residents, the FHA HSS Director maintains collaborative relationships with the Chatham County Emergency Management Department and 911, Emergency Medical Services (FirstHealth/EMS), the Chatham County North Chatham Fire Department, the Chatham County Sheriff's Department, and traffic engineers at the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT, which is responsible for 54 state secondary roads in the village).
