Hi Nick, Attached is a request from a local pediatrician who is trying to identify some lead level trends in Flint. She said there was a delay in getting a response because a DHHS employee was out of the office. Because of the ongoing lead issues in Flint I am doing everything I can to ensure we are helping citizens. Any assistance you can give to move this issue quickly I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Andy Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: Eroats Mona Hanna-Attisha <M <jananich(@att.net>
