NBC reporter wanting PANDAS families for interview in Philadelphia

[colleenrn]

This was posted on yahoo OCD parenting site. Thought maybe someone lives in this area. I have emailed the reporter and will call her this morning, BUT I live in Virginia, so I don't know if she will be interested.

 

A reporter for NBC Channel 10 news out of Philadelphia is looking to interview parents of children in the South Jersey or Philadephia PA area who have had to deal with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus). She is looking to do a piece that would highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of PANDAS and that many doctors don't seem to be knowledgeable or aware of it.

 

If you fit this description, you can contact her, at kathie.mcdermott@... 610 668 5738

She has a Friday deadline so requests to be contacted as soon as possible.

Thanks...I sent off an email. Is this going to be for the local news or a larger piece? I'm so glad that people in the media are finding out about it!
