Do you know who to contact if a child in your practice has an elevated blood lead levels?

Do you know how the health department responds to children with elevated blood lead levels?

Are you aware of local resources to help families affected by lead poisoining?

Are you aware of recent changes in Ohio law requiring lead testing for more children?

If you don't know the answers to all these questions, the Healthcare Provider Lead Poisoning Education Program was designed for you!

In 2005, The St. Lukes foundation funded a grant to provide in-office training to update providers, nurses, social workers, and staff about lead poisoning.  The program includes information about federal and state testing requirements, statistics, health department involvement and local resources.  The training is free and provides a resource binder and cd including contact information, parent handouts, and local statistics.

The program includes lunch and provides 1.5 CEUs for nurses and social workers.
