TEST TODAY for a brighter tomorrow.
Act early—get your child tested for lead! In New York, blood lead tests are required for all children at ages 1 and 2. Lead poisoning can harm a child's brain, nervous system, speech, hearing, learning, and behavior. Talk to your doctor or health care provider today!
TEST TODAY, protect their tomorrow.
Lead exposure is a serious health risk, especially for children. If you're a homeowner, renter, or landlord, funding is available to help identify and address lead and other safety hazards—at no cost for those who qualify! Find out more about the Lead-Safe Utica Program.

The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties is serving as the backbone organization for the Lead-Free & Healthy Homes Mohawk Valley Coalition, a collective impact initiative, which consists of more than 100 individuals from over 40 organizations.
The Coalition includes representatives from public health, government, legal, insurance, healthcare, education, childcare, housing, construction and support services constituencies. The group meets often and focuses on the reduction of lead and environmental health hazards in pre-1978 housing, as well as expanding testing and community awareness of the problem. Efforts range from direct outreach to strengthening legislation.
