Lead Testing Partnership - Maryland

 Lead testing in Maryland is a critical public health measure aimed at identifying and preventing lead exposure, particularly in children. The state mandates blood lead tests for children at 12 and 24 months of age, as part of its universal testing strategy. This approach ensures early detection and intervention, reducing the risk of lead poisoning and its harmful effects on health and development. Maryland's efforts include collaboration with healthcare providers to improve testing rates and reporting, alongside ongoing evaluation of policies to enhance lead poisoning prevention 

Through a partnership with Pain 2 Purpose, these efforts are further amplified by offering education, resources, and advocacy for families impacted by lead exposure. This collaboration enhances community outreach and support, aiming to create a healthier, lead-free future for Maryland's residents.
