Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
About
Oakland County Health Division is committed to increasing childhood lead screening and education. Lead exposure can permanently change the nervous system. Lead poisoning is preventable if someone is screened early for lead exposure. Michigan law requires universal blood lead screening for children at ages 1 and 2.
Eligibility
Any client 0-6 years old with a lead level of 3.5 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) or greater.
How to Become a Client
If a venous lead level is drawn on the client and the level is greater than or equal to 3.5 µg/dL, the client qualifies for lead case management services through Oakland County. Lead team nurses work closely with our registered dieticians and environmental health staff to provide education to reduce lead exposure.
Appointments
A lead nurse will contact a client to make an appointment once their venous level is known.
Fees
All services are free.
Contact Information
For further information about the program, contact Nurse on Call at 1-800-848-5533 or email NOC@oakgov.com.
If a provider is unsure of CDC lead recommendations and reporting requirements, serves a large population of children under age six, or wants to learn more about lead testing clients, call Michelle Allread, lead supervisor, at 248-858-1379 or email allreadm@oakgov.com.
