The Environmental Health program recently received a $228,554 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The grant is titled 'Capacity Building for Lead Outreach and Training in Northwest Ohio."  This project will take place throughout rural areas within Northwest Ohio through the formation of a network among local health districts. The regional approach of this project will enhance collaboration across counties for providing services that individual counties would be unable to provide. This project will provide training and education to local health districts about the prevention of lead poisoning, and is being led by Dr. Gary Silverman and Dr. Hailu Kassa.
