GR Baby Sent to Hospital with Lead Poisoning

"A ten-month old baby is at the DeVos Children’s Hospital after a severe case of lead poisoning that was discovered last week in Grand Rapids, " according to FOX-17 reporter Carl Apple.  The Healthy Homes Coalition worked with Carl to get this story out, hoping to alert the community to the fact that lead poisoning is still a very real and present danger in Grand Rapids.

CareSource Prevents Lead Poisoning

The CareSource Foundation recently awarded $7,500 to the Healthy Homes Coalition of West Michigan to underwrite the cost of teaching parents how to check their homes for lead hazards.  It is anticipated that more than 100 families will be able to benefit from this service.

100+ Homes Tested for Radon

Healthy Homes is working with homeowners to test more than 100 homes for radon during the national Radon Action Month.  Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoke.  Its presence in homes can easily be detected through a simple test kit.
