Thanks Nancy. I'm looping in Geralyn, Angela, and Elizabeth as a heads up about the congressional hearing.
Do you know when the hearing is taking place? Is DEQ involved?
Thank you,
Jennifer
Our staff will use the talking points, and we can also share them with the Healthy Homes Section.
Attached is the data that we had forwarded in response to the request from the Director’s office, which
was passed on to the Governor's office.
Sounds good — 1 haven’t seen any of the info that was sent to the gov’s office. Can you send that my
way?
Also, who do you foresee using the talking points?
I'll be out of the office for the next couple of days, so if your team could send a first draft my way that
would help get the ball rolling.
Thank you!
Jennifer
Hi Jen — based on email with Angela, we'd like to set up a time to work with you to develop some talking
points about our state childhood lead program, especially related to the water situation in Flint.
{am in and out of the office quite a bit the next week or so, so | wanted to ask if our communications
consultant Emily Houk, and our program nurse, Karen Lishinski, can work with you to get started on
this? We appreciate the help! | have copied Emily and Karen on this email so you can reach out to
them, or vice versa.

Everyone,
Attached ig a DHS Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing GovPellvery email that went out to subscribers of the BCAL
newsletter. it doesn’t prohibit child care canters from using Flint water, but suggests that they seek medical advice or
use bottled water. So rnayhe that’s what the intermediate school district is talking about regarding the Head Start
program.
it's possible MBE could have issued sarnething as well, so lll chack with them.
i askeecl Ron to go back to the GISD for sarne snectfic information about the recommendation, asking for
specific degartiment names and pene.
We'll get to the batter of this.
Hi Jen, Angela,
Ron Fonger from The Flint Journal left me a message stating that DHS told the Genesee Area
Intermediate School District told the Head Start program not to use city of Flint
water.
Is that something MDCH did? I’m pretty sure it’s not something we’d be doing, but I’m checking with our
child care licensing folks to make sure. If this is an MDCH matter, Ron’s number is 810-347-9963.
Thanks,
