Thank you for your interest in the Childhood Lead Prevention Project ECHO®! Enrollment is STILL OPEN for pediatricians/physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals located in the seven southern New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem.
This program will cover the importance of lead screening in pediatric settings with a focus on Southern NJ. Even small amounts of lead in the blood negatively affect a child’s development. If caught early, it’s possible to prevent further exposure and reduce harm to a child’s health. This program aims to improve the knowledge and competencies of care in lead prevention and referral of children with elevated blood lead levels to reduce the risk and impact of lead poisoning, and offers opportunities for collaboration among different organizations and providers in Southern NJ. The ECHO model fosters a bidirectional learning community where participants connect with experts, learn about the latest research and resources.
