Iowa HHS recommends children be tested early and often for lead

Iowa HHS recommends children be tested early and often for lead. At a minimum, blood tests to check for lead in the body should be done when children are 1 and 2 years in age.

Good news - we offer blood lead testing here at WCPH for children 6 and under! Call 319-653-7758 for more information.
