The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program provides early identification and intervention for children at risk for and exposed to environmental lead. Children with at least one risk factor receive a blood lead screening. Blood lead levels above 10 mcg/dl. are case managed to assure that appropriate education, home assessment, nutritional counseling, and medical follow-up are provided in accordance with the blood lead level. The public health nurse coordinates with the primary care provider and Environmental Protection and Resource Management in the implementation of the plan of care.
Services are rendered throughout the Baltimore County community by the public health nursing staff in the seven health centers who serve as case managers.
