The City-Cowley County Health Department says lead exposure is extremely hazardous, especially for young children! Many of the older houses in Cowley County still contain lead-based paint which can result in high levels of exposure in the home. Getting your child’s blood lead levels tested is the best way to find out if exposure has occurred and to then determine what steps to take to prevent further exposure! Blood-lead testing is a simple procedure with no out-of-pocket costs to you! Call the Health Department and schedule your appointment today!
