SUMMARY:Two Tests by Two Advocacy Day
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that thousands of young children are poisoned by lead every year in Pennsylvania? \nLead paint poisoning is not a thing of the past. Lead toxins still lurk in the old houses in the Commonwealth. That’s why every child should be tested twice in their first two years. Because early detection leads to early intervention. \nJoin us in Harrisburg to fight for child health. More information and registration here.
