Increase the Testing in Neighborhood children

Lead blood testing has been incorporated into all well-baby checks for 1-year-old children at the Hilltop Medical Center and from last January though June 54 children were screened for lead blood levels. In addition to this, a "carnival" was held at the University during the summer where an additional nine youth were tested. From July 1 through December 31st another sixty-five children were tested.
