Childhood Lead Poison Prevention Program
For more information, see the following:
The Genesee County Health Department's Childhood Lead Poison Prevention Program
increases the number of children detected and treated for lead poisoning. Training sessions and screening tools
have been developed for physician offices and clinics. County-wide surveillance of
lead screening is conducted using the CDC-developed Stellar Program. Public
health nurses provide follow-up for children with high lead levels in cooperation with medical
providers. In cooperation with the Health Department's Environmental Health Division, sources of lead in the
home environment are identified. A hepa-vac loan program is available to
residents to assist with the clean up of lead dust hazards. Educational
information and presentations are also available for parents, clubs, caregivers,
and health professionals. Call (810)
257-3833 for more information.
