Mission
To empower and protect the community by promoting awareness of primary prevention of lead poisoning and to prevent lead poisoning through environmental actions and education.
Goal
In collaboration with community partners, find and act on opportunities to increase awareness of lead poisoning and lead hazards in our communities. Increase childhood lead testing rates and education in the community, primary care clinics, and private physician offices. Promote lead testing and lead education for pregnant woman at OB/GYN offices.
How do we do this?
There truly is strength in numbers and our collective partnerships will do more than any of us could do alone. We are committed to increasing awareness, promoting the prevention of and increasing the early detection of lead poisoning in our communities.
​
In addition to monthly meetings, we host an annual conference and community outreach event in October to coincide with National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (the third full week in October).
