NEWBURGH – Orange County’s Department of Health is holding a Lead Safe Newburgh Coalition community outreach meeting from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, December 9th at the Kaplan Hall Great Room on the campus of SUNY Orange in Newburgh.
The Lead Safe Newburgh (LSN) Coalition has been working to unite all sectors of the community to put an end to childhood lead poisoning in the City of Newburgh. Orange County’s Department of Health Lead Safe Orange programs regularly work with community agencies, primary care providers, daycare providers and families to provide lead poisoning prevention education, stressing the importance of having every child tested for lead and offering in-home lead inspections to eligible families.
The Orange County Department of Health is looking for residents and agencies to be on the LSN planning committee. Please contact Heidi Meehan if you are interested in participating in this coalition at 360-6680 or email at hmeehan@orangecountygov.com.
